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