FORMAT The play is written in meter. The rhythm helps the actors remember their lines. In Greece, stories were passed from person to person and not necessarily written down. Figurative language still applies. SOPHOCLES

Antigone is the third play in a series. THREE THEBAN PLAYS Antigone is the third play in a series.

Oedipus Rex Oedipus becomes King of Thebes by unknowingly killing his father and marrying his mother, as was foretold. Although his parents tried to avoid this, it happened anyways. When the truth of this was found out, Jocasta hanged herself, and Oedipus blinded himself.

Oedipus at Colonus Eteocles and Polynices are left with the kingdom of Thebes to share. Of course, they get greedy, and Eteocles kicks Polynices out of Thebes. Polynices attacks with support of a foreign army, and both are killed in the battle.
