Sophocles’ final masterpiece, Oedipus at Colonus, chronicles the aged and exiled king’s arrival at the sacred grove of the Eumenides. Seeking sanctuary and a final resting place, Oedipus navigates the political machinations of Athens and Thebes while confronting the weight of his past transgressions. This profound meditation on mortality and divine will serves as the poignant conclusion to the Theban cycle.
