The greatest masterpiece on which Aristotle based his theory of drama in the Poetics and from
which Freud derived the Oedipus Complex.
Here is the tale of a great man hurtling toward his own destruction. King Oedipus puts out a sentence on
the unknown murderer of his fater Laius. By a gradual unfolding of incidents, Oedipus learns that he was the assassin and
Jocasta, his wife, is also his mother.
A story of pride and power, incest and murder, OEDIPUS THE KING has never cease to fire debate.
