Brief recap: plague in thebes, oedipus finds out he killed dad unawares, and is sleeping with mum (also unaware). Mum hangs herself, and oedipus gouges out his eyes. The people of thebes, pissed off, throw oedipus out of town. plague goes away, thebans rejoice. THE END.
Now, will anyone tell me what the hell was the lesson of the story? oedipus wasn't a bad bloke. why'd they treat him like crap? I'm so angry with sophocles, and the teachers who made me read it.
