Great play. Read it in high school and it is still haunting.
I actually read it in one night. It was captivating and horrifying.

Thanks for the comment! I am very interested in the best stories, of all time. I didn't get to read it in high school but I have heard of it and I am looking closer now! What is the most memorable part of the story for you? What was most horrifying?
The most memorable is at the end when he finds out that he killed his father and slept with his mother.
Oedipus Rex is a classic tale that is referenced all the time. Trying to avoid fate is seen as impossible in the story.
