Plays of Sophocles by Sophocles (c. 497–406 BC), translated by Francis Storr (1839–1919), is a powerful collection of three of the most celebrated tragedies in classical literature.This volume includes Oedipus the King, Oedipus at Colonus, and Antigone—a trilogy of works that explore the tragic fate of Oedipus and the enduring consequences of his story. Across these plays, themes of destiny, guilt, divine law, and human responsibility are brought vividly to life.From the shocking revelation of truth in Oedipus the King, to the reflective and redemptive tone of Oedipus at Colonus, and the moral conflict at the heart of Antigone, Sophocles presents characters caught between personal conviction and unavoidable fate.Rendered in clear and elegant prose by Francis Storr, this collection preserves the emotional intensity and philosophical depth of the original Greek tragedies, offering readers a timeless exploration of human suffering, justice, and the power of choice.
