Oedipus the King (often known by the Latin title Oedipus Rex) is an Athenian tragedy by Sophocles that was first performed c. 429 BC. It was the second of Sophocles's three Theban plays to be produced, but it comes first in the internal chronology, followed by Oedipus at Colonus and then Antigone. Over the centuries, it has come to be regarded by many as the Greek tragedy par excellence.

This is the final installment in Sophocles's Theban Plays, following Oedipus Rex and Oedipus at Colonus.

How complex was Oedipus? How do you solve a problem like Medea? Nero or hero? Alexander, how Great? We're talking interviews with historical heroes. We're talking Cleopatra, Queen Nefertiti, Marcus Aurelius, Michaelangelo, Xenophon, Boudica, Hypatia, Frida Kahlo, and Constance Wilde. Take this with a pinch of salt because there are also some etymology and idiom origins. Music by: Tertia Artwork: Ottoline https://www.instagram.com/sibyl_service/ Sibylservice@gmail.com
