A timeless Greek tragedy no matter which language read in. Oedipe’s tragedy will always be horrific and the Gods really do have it out for the poor guy. I really do think this is one of the best plays discussed and analyzed in university.

“Those we love never truly leave us, Harry. There are things that death cannot touch.” 

“In every shining moment of happiness is that drop of poison: the knowledge that pain will come again. Be honest to those you love, show your pain. To suffer is as human as to breathe.”
