Summary: Described as the Mona Lisa of literature and the worlds first detective story, Sophocles' Oedipus the King is a major text from the ancient Greek world and an iconic work of world literature. Aristotles favourite play, lauded by him as the exemplary Athenian tragedy, Oedipus the King has retained its power both on and off the stage. Before Freuds famous interpretation of the play an appropriation, some might say Hlderlin and Nietzsche recognised its unique qualities.
