Oedipus the King

I had to read this a second time for school.  I didn't mind it because this is a classic.  Sophocles' play has hardly dated at all.  Oedipus is stubborn to admit an oracle's truth.  Who can blame him as it mentions incest and also says he killed his father?  He alone is the cause of Thebes' plague. Oedipus goes on a quest to find the truth.  The whole time the events are happening right in his face and he remains oblivious.  It all ends rather tragically of course.   I've got to read more of Sophocles' plays.  Actually, this is my first Greek play which means I need to catch up on this genre.
