Plays from the fifth century B.C. In Oedipus the King, a young man is warned by an oracle that he will kill his father and marry his mother. Oedipus at Colonus describes how the people of Thebes seek the return of the aged exile. In Antigone, the new king of Thebes refuses to permit his nephew's burial. Antigone defies his edict and suffers the consequences.
