Summary "Οιδίπους επί Κολωνώ" by Sophocles is a classic Greek tragedy written in the 5th century BC. The play follows the journey of Oedipus, now a blind and aging man, as he arrives in Colono, guided by his daughter Antigone, seeking refuge and answers regarding his tragic fate. It explores themes of identity, fate, and the consequences of past actions. The opening of the tragedy introduces Oedipus and Antigone as they arrive at the sacred land of Colono near Athens. Oedipus, once a revered king, is now a blinded exile seeking a place to die peacefully and fulfill a prophecy concerning his fate. Antigone expresses concern for their uncertain circumstances as they encounter locals, revealing their plight and Oedipus's yearning for recognition and dignity. The Chorus, consisting of local elders, reflects on Oedipus's past and the implications of his presence in their sacred land, foreshadowing the events that will unfold as he engages with the Athenian society and confronts the remnants of his tragic history.
