Sophocles: Oedipus Rex and others
*Oedipus Rex and Others* introduces Sophocles' "Theban Trilogy." It is the 42nd book in the "Eul-yu World Literature Collection," an authentic world literature series revived after 50 years. Despite the dissuasion and warnings of others, Oedipus did not waver in his determination to uncover the truth, and he pursued it to the very end, even while foreseeing his own destruction. This book includes *Oedipus Rex*, designated by Aristotle as the "greatest tragedy," along with *Antigone* and *Oedipus at Colonus*, collectively known as the "Theban Trilogy." It provides detailed footnotes to aid in understanding the text and includes appendices written by the translator, such as *Components of Greek Tragedy* and *The Structure of Plays*, to help readers experience Sophocles' tragedies in a richer and more multi-dimensional way.
