Sumérgete en la tragedia clásica por excelencia con 'Edipo Rey' de Sófocles, una edición de Penguin Clásicos que incluye una introducción de un profesor emérito de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid y un epílogo de Jordi Balló y Xavier Pérez. Descubre la historia de Edipo, hijo del rey de Corinto, quien al descubrir un secreto sobre su origen, emprende un viaje en busca de la verdad, enfrentándose a un destino marcado por el oráculo de Delfos: matar a su padre y desposarse con su madre. En Tebas, Edipo se encuentra con la esfinge y la respuesta a su existencia. Esta obra, que ha influido en la cultura occidental durante siglos, explora temas como la fatalidad, el tabú y la búsqueda de la verdad.
Sophocles was an ancient Greek tragedian, one of three from whom at least two plays have survived in full. His first plays were written later than, or contemporary with, those of Aeschylus and earlier than, or contemporary with, those of Euripides. Sophocles wrote more than 120 plays, but only seven have survived in a complete form: Ajax, Antigone, Women of Trachis, Oedipus Rex, Electra, Philoctetes, and Oedipus at Colonus. For almost 50 years, Sophocles was the most celebrated playwright in the dramatic competitions of the city-state of Athens, which took place during the religious festivals of the Lenaea and the Dionysia. He competed in 30 competitions, won 24, and was never judged lower than second place. Aeschylus won 13 competitions and was sometimes beaten by Sophocles; Euripides won four.
