## Description

Delve into the timeless tragedies of Sophocles with this collection of three masterpieces. Witness the harrowing journey of Oedipus in Oedipus the King, where a desperate search for truth unveils a devastating prophecy of patricide and incest, leading a once-proud king to blindness and exile. Follow his final years in Oedipus at Colonus, as a weary, outcast Oedipus finds solace and a sacred resting place, becoming a beacon of blessing for Athens even as his estranged sons battle for Thebes. Conclude with Antigone, a powerful tale of defiant sisterly love and moral conviction, as Antigone boldly challenges a king's decree to honor her fallen brother, igniting a conflict between human law and divine justice that brings catastrophic consequences. These plays explore profound questions of fate, free will, human hubris, and the enduring struggle between individual conscience and state authority, resonating with audiences through the ages.
