Oedipus The King tells the story of a ruler of Thebes who vows to find the cause of a devastating plague, only to discover that he himself has unknowingly fulfilled a prophecy by killing his father and marrying his mother. As the truth emerges, Oedipus's confidence in his own insight turns to horror and self punishment. Sophocles's tightly constructed tragedy examines fate, free will, and the limits of human knowledge.
