The best-known play by the Greek dramatist Sophocles is Oedipus the King (also known as Oedipus Rex).12
Performed between 430 and 426 BCE, the play is widely considered a masterpiece of construction. It follows the story of Oedipus, the king of Thebes, who attempts to escape a prophecy that he will kill his father and marry his mother, only to fulfill it through his own actions.134
Aristotle famously regarded the work as a pinnacle of dramatic achievement, particularly for its use of tension, recognition, and discovery.34
