Oedipus Tyrannus (1825)

Oedipus Tyrannus est fabula tragica Sophoclis, quae de rege Thebarum Oedipo agit. Oedipus, qui oraculo Delphico nuntiatum est se patrem interfeciturum et matrem duciturum esse, fugit patriam suam Corinthum, ubi erat natus, et in via Thebas venit. Ibi, in conflictu cum hominibus, qui eum offendebant, interfecit regem Laium, qui erat pater suus, et postea sumpsit regnum Thebarum et duxit Iocastam, quae erat mater sua. Fabula narrat de investigando crimine, quod Oedipus commisit, et de consequenti miseria, quae eum affligebat. Oedipus, qui erat rex iustus et benevolentissimus, conatur scire veritatem, sed invenit, se esse reum incestus et parricidii. Fabula est exemplum de fato et de fortuna, quae homines regunt, et de poena, quae sequitur scelera.This Book Is In Latin.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
