Ancient Greece's most perfect tragedy, "Oedipus Rex" follows a king who unknowingly fulfills a prophecy of patricide and incest. So profound, Aristotle praised it as flawless while Freud built an entire psychological theory around its haunting themes of fate versus free will.

Imagine a story so powerful it has shaped human understanding for over two millennia. In the sun-drenched theaters of ancient Athens, amid plague and war, Sophocles unveiled a tale that would become the blueprint for all tragedy that followed. "Oedipus Rex" tells the story of a brilliant man who, in trying to escape his fate, runs directly into its embrace. The tale begins with a city in crisis-Thebes is ravaged by plague, and its citizens turn to their king, Oedipus, for salvation. He has saved them before by solving the Sphinx's riddle, and they believe he can do so again. Oedipus learns from the oracle that the plague will end only when the murderer of the previous king, Laius, is found and punished. With characteristic determination, he vows to solve this mystery, declaring, "I'll bring it all to light myself." The dramatic irony is exquisite-for in seeking the criminal who pollutes Thebes, Oedipus is hunting himself. This is not merely a detective story but an excavation of identity, where the investigator and perpetrator are one and the same. What makes us return to this ancient tale? Perhaps it's because we recognize ourselves in Oedipus-brilliant yet blind, confident yet vulnerable, masters of our destiny yet shaped by forces we barely comprehend.
