jrpoole 's review for:

Oedipus Rex by Sophocles

5.0

---

To write a review of one of the foundational documents of Western civilization would be hubris, so I'll just note here that I don't think I'd ever actually read it before. I was, of course, familiar with the story of the myth, and I have read most of the ancient Greek stuff like The Oddyssey and The Iliad, but I'm pretty sure this is my first time actually reading Oedipus Rex, just as I'm sure it's most of my ENG 102 students' first time reading the SparkNotes.
