Serena Garcia's Reviews > Antigone - Oedipus the King - Electra

The story of Oedipus the King is about a King named Oedipus who is the ruler of a city called Thebes. A curse has befallen on this city and Oedipus sends someone for Apollo to find out why it's happening. He learns that the curse is due to the fact that their last king, Laius, was murdered and if they find out who the killer is, the curse in Thebes would be lifted. With that, a series of events ends up happening to Oedipus from being accused to being the murderer of Laius to just a whole bunch of family drama.

I did enjoy this part of Sophocles writing, but it was still a little hard to get into based on how the writing was to me. I loved how the story just hits you with so much drama that just continues until the very end.

I think regardless of what genre you like, I think most people would enjoy this book if it was explained to them properly so they know what's going on (since the writing can be confusing). It just catches your attention so fast and it just keeps you hooked.
