A review by owenpeak
Sophocles' Three Theban Plays by Sophocles

3.0

This was decent. The stories of Oedipus the King, Oedipus at Colonus and Antigone were all very strong and had a lot to say about the inevitability of fate and the role of women in Ancient Greece. Surprisingly, Oedipus at Colonus was my favourite; I thought the imagery used to describe the grove was very luscious and the appearance of Theseus was a nice touch. Moreover, the characters of Jocasta and Antigone in the other two plays were also very thought-provoking and left big impressions on me. However, my one main qualm was that most of the action occurred off-stage, being described by other characters- I wanted to see it!
