"Οιδίπους επί Κολωνώ" by Sophocles is a tragedy written shortly before 406 BC. The play depicts the final chapter of Oedipus's life as he arrives at Colonus with his daughters Antigone and Ismene. Blind and exiled, he seeks refuge on sacred ground, discovering his resting place will hold prophetic power over Thebes. As his sons wage war for the throne and Creon schemes to control his burial site, Oedipus must choose where
his loyalty—and his grave—will lie. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
