Descripción

Deeply rooted in ancient Greek mythology, these three tragedies explore the profound themes of fate, guilt, and familial loyalty. The first play, where Oedipus uncovers the devastating truth of his origins, recounts a king's tragic journey from ignorance to enlightenment, ultimately culminating in a heartbreaking revelation that alters the course of his life. This narrative serves as a powerful reminder of the inescapable nature of destiny and the human propensity for self-destruction.

As the cycle continues, Oedipus at Colonus reveals a poignant exploration of redemption and the quest for peace in one's final moments. Antigone boldly confronts the tension between moral duty and state law, showcasing a young woman's fierce dedication to her family's honor. Together, these works weave a rich tapestry that delves into the complexities of human emotion and societal structures, inviting readers to reflect on their own beliefs and values.
