Oedipus Tyrannus is a classic, which should be read time and again and studied time and again. Thoroughly compelling, if not darkly ironic and comic at points, which provides a thoroughfare throughout the play. Oedipus acts as the main focal user throughout the play and provides utterly brilliant dialogue; his interactions with Jocasta and Tiresias in particular stood out to me. Sophocles has once again outdone himself!
