Oedipus the King is the first tragic play in Sophocles' classic Oedipus trilogy. The plays tells the story of a man who eventually becomes the King of Thebes while fulfilling an extremely tragic prophecy.

**3.5**** overall I really liked the play but I'm still very uncomfortable about the incest between mother and son. And I also felt like the ending was pretty rushed. I was able to sympathize with Oedipus. It was alright for required reading.
