Overview
Few works have travelled as far, cut as deep, or exerted such gravitational pull on world culture as Oedipus Rex.
Sophocles' tragedy is one of the foundations of storytelling itself — the first great drama of knowledge and consequence, echoing through writers from Freud to Coetzee, from Shakespeare to Murdoch. It is the story of a man who solves riddles only to discover he is one, and of a city undone by the brilliance of its own reason.
This graphic edition captures that tension on a striking visual register: sharp lines, angular compositions, and a palette that amplifies the drama without resorting to the ornamental.
Dramatic and modern, it turns a 2,500-year-old play into something startlingly alive; the result urgent, cinematic, and human.
