A review by jeslyncat
The Oedipus Cycle: Oedipus Rex, Oedipus at Colonus, Antigone by Sophocles
5.0
I'm going to try to write a short review of this work without gushing. Too much.
These plays are literally one of the best things I have ever read, experienced, studied, analyzed, wrote about, and loved.
I have literally driven more than an hour by myself to see a low-grade production just to witness another person's take on [a:Sophocles|1002|Sophocles|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1195014481p2/1002.jpg]' words.
[b:The Oedipus Cycle|1540|The Oedipus Cycle Oedipus Rex / Oedipus at Colonus / Antigone|Sophocles|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1328876438s/1540.jpg|5672] is written in the tradition of Greek mythological tragedy of the time period, but it stands out with originality, emotion, intrigue, twists and turns, and the shock and awe involved.
If you have ever enjoyed a good moment of any type of Ancient Greek culture, any mythology, any theatre, any acting, any good soap opera drama, or just darn good story--please pick up a copy of this book.
Please.
