This new translation of the great classic of ancient Greece is one of many drama recordings by Naxos AudioBooks. Oedipus tells the the anguished tale of the mythical King Oedipus, who solves the riddle of the Sphinx but, by becoming king of Thebes, accidentally fulfills the prophecy he had worked to avoid his entire life. The story of Oedipus remains a drama of unremitting power 2,500 years after it was written. Performed by Michael Sheen, John Moffatt, Heathcote Williams, and a full cast.

Only seven plays of the Ancient Greek dramatist Sophocles have survived to today. Sophocles is best known for his trilogy of dramas known as the "Three Theban Plays", which is comprised of the plays "Oedipus Rex", "Oedipus at Colonus", and "Antigone". The remaining four extant plays are collected together in this volume of "Electra and Other Plays". First in this collection we find "Ajax", the oldest of Sophocles plays which unfolds the destiny of the warrior Ajax after the Trojan War. Second there is "The Trachinian Maidens", which gives an insightful account of the neglect that the wife of Hercules, Deianeira, and her family suffer as a result of her husband's frequent and lengthy adventures. Thirdly we find the title drama, "Electra" which tells the classic tale of a young daughter's revenge for her father's death. Lastly in this collection there is, "Philoctetes", which follows the life of a unique and important man through his trials and triumphs. In this volume the reader will find more evidence of why Sophocles is considered one of the greatest dramatists from classical antiquity. This edition follows the verse translations of Lewis Campbell and is printed on premium acid-free paper.

Antigone fait part sa soeur Ism ne de son intention de braver l'interdiction mise par le roi Cr on (leur oncle) d'accomplir les rites fun raires pour leur fr re Polynice - tu par son autre fr re t ocle lors d'une bataille o chaque fr re voulait la mort de l'autre pour devenir roi de Th bes et o chacun d'eux perdit la vie. Antigone risque la mort. Tout en reconnaissant la justesse du geste, Ism ne refuse de la suivre dans cette entreprise ( je c de la force je n'ai rien gagner me rebeller ). Alors qu'Antigone s'en va accomplir ce qu'elle estime tre son devoir religieux, Cr on d veloppe devant le choeur des vieillards th bains - des conseillers, repr sentant la sagesse - sa philosophie politique (le service de la cit , le bien du peuple) et se propose l' preuve du commandement et des lois. Il y glisse une menace voil e adress e au Coryph e, le soup onnant de corruption (au service des esprits rebelles). Il faut noter que lors du r gne d'OEdipe, Cr on menait une vie de fortune tranquille, comme un roi, sans toutefois devoir se soucier de toutes les angoisses du pouvoir.
