Este volumen presenta las tres tragedias tebanas de Sófocles: Antígona, Edipo Rey y Edipo en Colono, que giran en torno a uno de los personajes míticos más conocidos e influyentes del mundo griego. Cada obra, completa en sí misma, presenta un momento culminante de la historia. Antígona aborda el conflicto que surge entre Creonte y su sobrina, la protagonista del drama, por si hay que enterrar o no a Polinices, el hermano de Antígona que ha muerto luchando contra su ciudad natal. Edipo Rey se centra en el momento en que el hombre que ha derramado la sangre de su padre y ha entrado en el lecho de su madre toma conciencia de su situación. Y Edipo en Colono nos lleva al punto en que el protagonista, viejo y ciego, debe decidir si se queda en el lugar del Ática que finalmente lo ha acogido o si regresa a Tebas, la ciudad de la que lo desterró su trágico destino. El volumen presenta el texto original junto con la traducción de Carles Riba, convenientemente anotada, y con un prólogo del profesor Enric Iborra.
Sophocles was an ancient Greek tragedian, one of three from whom at least two plays have survived in full. His first plays were written later than, or contemporary with, those of Aeschylus and earlier than, or contemporary with, those of Euripides. Sophocles wrote more than 120 plays, but only seven have survived in a complete form: Ajax, Antigone, Women of Trachis, Oedipus Rex, Electra, Philoctetes, and Oedipus at Colonus. For almost 50 years, Sophocles was the most celebrated playwright in the dramatic competitions of the city-state of Athens, which took place during the religious festivals of the Lenaea and the Dionysia. He competed in 30 competitions, won 24, and was never judged lower than second place. Aeschylus won 13 competitions and was sometimes beaten by Sophocles; Euripides won four.
