“Aristotle admired Oedipus the King as the pinnacle of tragic art. Indeed, aside from its fine poetry and Freudian undertones, it is a taut, suspenseful detective story.”

AudioFile

Oedipus tells the anguished tale of the mythical King Oedipus, who solves the riddle of the Sphinx but, by becoming king of Thebes, accidentally fulfills the prophecy he had worked to avoid his entire life. The story of Oedipus remains a drama of unremitting power 2,500 years after it was written.

Performed by Michael Sheen, John Moffatt, Heathcote Williams, and a full cast this new translation of the great classic of ancient Greece is one of many drama recordings by Naxos AudioBooks.
