Perihal e-buku ini
"Oedipus at Colonus is the final play in Sophocles' Theban cycle and presents a moving conclusion to the tragic life of Oedipus. Now blind, aged, and exiled after the revelations of Oedipus Rex, he wanders with his devoted daughter Antigone until they arrive at Colonus, near Athens. There, Oedipus learns that the place of his death has been foretold to bring protection and blessing to the land that shelters him. As news spreads of his presence, political tensions arise. Creon and his son Polynices attempt to persuade or coerce Oedipus into returning to Thebes, hoping to use the prophecy for their own advantage. However, Oedipus, once proud and impulsive, has gained wisdom through suffering. He refuses to be manipulated and ultimately finds dignity in his final moments. The Athenian king Theseus offers protection and compassion, contrasting with the betrayal Oedipus experienced elsewhere. In a mysterious and sacred departure, Oedipus dies in a manner marked by divine significance. The play explores themes of redemption, justice, exile, and spiritual transformation. Unlike the earlier tragedy of discovery and downfall, Oedipus at Colonus offers a profound meditation on reconciliation and the possibility of grace after suffering."
