  1. This was actually the first one of the Theban #plays that was written, 40 years before COLONUS. #OedipusRex falls between them. (but they are not actually a trilogy, they're what's left of a larger work)
    That means Oedipus Rex...is a prequel. youtube.com/watch?v=nLjaG1LBIa #tragedy #theatre #greece

  4. If anyone knows of an ancient play that has two or more characters that keep calling each other's names, that would be swell.

    I was thinking Romeo and Juliet, but when I searched, I found that they don't use each other's name that much.

    Then I looked at Oedipus Rex, because reasons, and that does not seem to do either.

  8. I'm looking at the old play Oedipus Rex... and man... that Oedipus has walls of text to recite.

    It is crazy. 😱

    Maybe the paragraph had not been invented yet. :catthinking: :madjoy:

  12. I can call #OedipusRex and #Hamlet #Mysteries. #Mystery is central and depicted in their plots. I'm not shortchanging their merit calling them mysteries. Consider they are mysteries b/c w/o their mystery, they wouldn't be stories. Claudius lets Old Hamlet live. Oedipus picks another carriage to rob. Where's the beef?
