Résumé
Classic Greek dramas, written in the fifth century BCE. In "Oedipus at Colonus", while Oedipus was once exiled by the people of Thebes, he is now sought by them because of a prophecy by the Oracle of Delphi. Oedipus spurns… the Thebans, though, offering his body to Attica with the promise that Attica will have good fortune if he is buried in its soil. "Electra" is set in the city of Argos a few years after the Trojan War, and is based around the character of Electra and the vengeance that she and her brother Orestes take on their mother Clytemnestra and step-father Aegisthus for the murder of their father, Agamemnon. 1948. Uniform title: Oedipus at Colonus.
