«Oedipus Rex» (or «Oedipus the Tyrant») — is one of the seven tragedies by the ancient Greek poet and playwright Sophocles. It tells the story of the tragic fate of the king of Thebes, Oedipus, the son of Laius and Jocasta, who, in an attempt to avoid a dark prophecy, fulfilled it by inadvertently killing his father and marrying his mother, and ended his days as a blind beggar and outcast.

The main characters of the play are Oedipus' daughters Antigone and Esmene, the ruler of Thebes Creon, his wife Eurydice, Creon and Eurydice's son Hemon (Antigone's fiancé). As soon as the foreign troops retreated from under the city wall, the ruler of Thebes, Creon, ordered that Eteocles be buried with honours.
