Greek Mythology > People, Places, & Things > Oedipus at Kolonus
O to Oresteia Orestes to Ozolian
The second of three plays by Sophokles (Sophocles) dealing with the death of king Oedipus.
The tragedy was written towards the end of Sophokles’ life and was produced posthumously circa 401 BCE.
I personally recommend the Penguin Classics version of The Theban Plays translated by E. F. Watling (ISBN 0140440038); the book includes the three plays dealing with Oedipus and his family: King Oedipus, Oedipus at Colonus and Antigone; you can find this book at your local library or you can order it through the Book Shop on this site which is linked to Amazon.com.
