Narration In Pursuance Of Books Oedipus Rex (The Theban Plays #1)
"...what man wins more happiness than just its shape and the ruin when that shape collapses?"Sophocles' Oedipus Rex has never been surpassed for the raw and terrible power with which its hero struggles to answer the eternal question, "Who am I?" The play, a story of a king who acting entirely in ignorance kills his father and marries his mother, unfolds with shattering power; we are helplessly carried along with Oedipus towards the final, horrific truth.
To make Oedipus more accessible for the modern reader, our Prestwick House Literary Touchstone Classics includes a glossary of the more difficult words, as well as convenient sidebar notes to enlighten the reader on aspects that may be confusing or overlooked. We hope that the reader may, through this edition, more fully enjoy the beauty of the verse, the wisdom of the insights, and the impact of the drama.

Chi tra gli umani, chi riceve più felicità di quanta ne basti per sembrare felice? .Mi sono ritrovata a voler rileggere questo dramma, affrontato più volte sui banchi di scuola, per i numerosi richiami che Pamuk ne fa nel suo la donna dai capelli rossi. Volevo capire lossessione che il personaggio ha per questo mito e niente è meglio che ritornare sui propri passi. Edipo è larchetipo del male, che si perpetua senza coscienza, luomo che uccide senza saperlo il padre, colui che lo ha generato,نمايشنامه ى مشهور اديپ شهريار يكى از بزرگترين تراژدى هاى يونان باستان.از لحاظ داستان واقعاً اعجاب انگيزه. داستان ابتدا با معمايى شروع ميشه كه نجات شهر "تِبس" از نابودى به حل اون بسته است ولى هيچ كس جوابش رو نميدونه. بعد كم كم كه معما حل ميشه پاسخ وحشتناك و تراژيكش آشكار ميشه و نجات شهر از نابودى به بهاى بسيار سنگينى حاصل ميشه. اين روش طرح معما و حل مرحله به مرحله ش بسيار شبيه به داستان هاى جنايى امروزيه و از خيلى از اين داستان ها به مراتب بهتره.اما اثر طبعاً به مقتضاى زمان نگارشش مشكلات خودش رو
Βρε τον Οιδίποδα τον Τυραγνισμένο... Είχε πολύ ψωμί τελικά...Πέρα από την πλάκα τώρα, τέτοια κείμενα είναι που σε κάνουν να λες ότι αξίζει να νιώθεις περήφανος, έστω που έχεις την τύχη να ζεις στον ίδιο χώρο που έζησαν και αυτοί οι μεγάλοι δημιουργοί, τόσες χιλιάδες χρόνια πριν.Ένα έργο που δεν θα ξεπεραστεί όσες χιλιετίες κι αν περάσουν.
honestly, I feel bad for Oedipus. He left his house to do the right thing and try to avoid killing his dad, just to come across his real dad and kill him anyway. It's really unfortunate and it really sucks for him. And then he had to go and skewer his eyeballs like yikes he's not having a good time, is he ?RIP Oedipus eyes, I'm sorry this happened to you. Honestly, I know this play is super tragic, and it actually is interesting how he tried to avoid his fate which led to him fulfilling it
Pensaba que me iba a costar leerlo por el lenguaje pero para nada ha sido así. Es muy fácil de leer, y aunque es una historia que todos conocemos hay algún momento de sorpresa. La única pega que le pongo es que es muy corto, podían haber dado algún rodeo en lugar de ir tan al grano, pero aún así he disfrutado mucho leyéndolo.
"Look and learn all citizens of Thebes. This is Oedipus.He, who read the famous riddle, and we hailed chief of men,All envied his power, glory, and good fortune.Now upon his head the sea of disaster crashes down.Mortality is mans burden. Keep your eyes fixed on your last day.Call no man happy until he reaches it, and finds rest from suffering." I believe that in one way or another, everyone - at least to some extent - has heard of the story of Oedipus and Jocasta. It's one of those tales that's
