The Theban plays by Sophocles

These three plays by Sophocles (496-406 B.C.), though they are all based on the legend of the royal house of Thebes, were written at different periods and dramatize different themes. Antigone is the tragedy of a woman ruled by conscience, an overconfident king, and a young man tormented by conflicting loyalties. King Oedipus is a vast and living portrait of man, without parallel in the Greek theatre, and Oedipus at Colonus completes the story with the legend of the passing of the aged hero.
