The tragic tale of Oedipus follows the king of Thebes, who, despite efforts to avoid it, fulfills a prophecy that he would kill his father and marry his mother. After discovering the truth, he blinds himself and goes into exile with his daughter Antigone. His children, particularly Antigone, suffer further tragedies, including a civil war between his sons Polynices and Eteocles, and Antigone's defiance against Creon's edict, leading to her death. The story explores themes of fate, human frailty, and the search for redemption, ultimately highlighting the inescapable nature of destiny and the human spirit's resilience.
