nikkivrc 's review for:
Oedipus The King
by Sophocles
If anything's a classic, it's 'Oedipus Rex'. I have yet to meet someone who doesn't at least know the general plot of this story. Part of the reason why I absolutely love reading Greek and Roman plays and poems is the idea that people knew these exact same stories thousands of years ago. That just adds a whole other layer of enjoyment for me. I am completely in love with the classical world and often wish I had been born then (although from a pratical point of view, it probably wouldn't have been very pleasant to live as a woman back then) and these stories make me feel connected to that period in time.
