Sophocles' Oedipus at Colonus is a classic Greek tragedy that tells the story of the aging Oedipus, who has been exiled from Thebes and seeks refuge in the sacred grove of the Furies at Colonus. This abridged English version, first published in 1848, condenses the original play into a more accessible format for modern readers. The play explores themes of fate, free will, and the consequences of one's actions, as Oedipus struggles with his past and the prophecy that he will die in Colonus. The language is poetic and dramatic, with vivid descriptions of the setting and characters. This edition is an excellent choice for students and anyone interested in exploring the world of ancient Greek drama.Written And Adapted For Her Most Gracious Majesty, Queen Victoria, And His Royal Highness, Prince Albert, To The Music Of Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
