mikewomack 's review for:

Oedipus Rex by Sophocles
3.0

I taught this story for the first time this year. And my students really liked the IDEA of the story, that is, the plot. But the actual reading...not something they enjoyed much. And I can understand why. A lot of lamenting (a lot to lament about) and not a ton of action. Probably because this story 2500 years old. But it's lasted this long and I'm assuming my students like/dislike won't change the popularity of Sophocles.
