Book 31 || Plays of Sophocles: Oedipus the King; Oedipus at Colonus; Antigone by Sophocles

Plays of Sophocles: Oedipus the King; Oedipus at Colonus; Antigone comprises three of the most celebrated tragedies written by the ancient Greek playwright Sophocles. These plays are part of the Theban Cycle and center on the tragic fate of the royal family of Thebes. In Oedipus the King, the titular character, King Oedipus, unknowingly fulfills a prophecy that he will kill his father and marry his mother, leading to his ultimate downfall. Oedipus at Colonus depicts the final days of Oedipus, now a blind exile, seeking redemption and a peaceful death. Antigone tells the story of Oedipus’s daughter, who defies King Creon’s decree by burying her brother, leading to her tragic demise. These plays explore themes of fate, free will, the nature of justice, and the consequences of human pride and error. Sophocles’ plays remain central to the study of Greek tragedy and continue to influence modern drama and philosophy..

At the time of Lincoln’s inauguration, several Southern states had already seceded from the Union, and tensions were running high. In his speech, Lincoln sought to reassure the Southern states that he had no intention of abolishing slavery where it already existed, but he firmly rejected the legality of secession, declaring that the Union must be preserved.
