Summary "Oedipus király" by Sophocles is a classical tragedy written in ancient Greece during the 5th century BC. The play centers around the character of Oedipus, the King of Thebes, who is determined to uncover the truth behind a plague devastating his city and the mysterious death of his predecessor, King Laïos. The story unfolds through themes of fate, free will, and the search for identity, ultimately leading to harrowing revelations that tie Oedipus's fate to the very calamities he seeks to eradicate. At the start of the play, Oedipus addresses the citizens of Thebes, who have gathered to seek his help in alleviating the plague that has struck the city. A priest articulates the suffering of the people, invoking Oedipus's previous triumph over the Sphinx. In response, Oedipus expresses his commitment to investigating the source of their troubles, even sending Creon to the oracle at Delphi for guidance. Upon Creon's return with revelations about the need to find Laïos's murderer to save the city, Oedipus vows to uncover the truth, setting the stage for a gripping and tragedy-laden journey into his past, ultimately foreshadowing the bitter fate that awaits him.
