Edipo, Rey de Tebas: Trajedia en Cinco Actos y en Verso (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a thought-provoking rendition of the mythical Oedipus Rex, initially introduced by Sophocles in his play of the same name. It unfolds within Thebes during a plague, with the people desperate for respite that only the revelation of King Laius' murderer can provide. While seeking divine guidance, the high priest determines that the plague was sent as divine retribution for the as-yet unresolved murder of King Laius, Laius having been killed by an unknown assailant while journeying many years before. After the gods' displeasure is revealed, suspicion falls on the newly anointed King Oedipus, who learns from the high priest that Laius was slain at a crossroadsâ"the very spot where Oedipus, years prior, had killed a man. When questioned by the chorus about the events leading to the previous kingâs death, Oedipus proudly recounts how he killed a man who had attempted to drive him from the road by force at a crossroads many years ago. The chorus expresses its horror, and Oedipusâ"now realizing he is the murdererâ"recounts additional horrific revelations: his marriage to Laius' widow and the fulfillment of an oracle that he would murder his father and marry his mother. In a fit of despair, Oedipus blinds himself and requests banishment from the city. This book is an exploration of destiny, the limits of human understanding, and the consequences that can stem from even the most well-intentioned actions.
