Este libro reúne dos de las tragedias más importantes de Sófocles: 'Edipo Rey' y 'Edipo en Colono'. 'Edipo Rey' narra la historia de Edipo, quien sin saberlo mata a su padre y se casa con su madre, desatando una serie de eventos trágicos. 'Edipo en Colono' cuenta los últimos días de Edipo, ya anciano y ciego, en Colono, donde encuentra refugio y redención. Ambas obras exploran temas como el destino, la culpa, el sufrimiento y la condición humana, y son consideradas pilares de la literatura universal.

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.
