书籍介绍
这或许不是索福克勒斯最'好看'的剧,但它对'命运'二字的处理方式,在整部西方戏剧史里几乎找不到可与之匹敌的范本。读者反复提及的,不是情节的离奇,而是那种被命运碾压时的彻底无力——俄狄浦斯越是清醒、越是主动地追查真相,就越快地把自己推向深渊。全书最刺穿人心的一笔,恰恰是'眼'的悖论:他看得见的双眼,反而看不见自身的腐坏;唯有自戳双目,才真正'看清'了命运。它不提供廉价的救赎,也不让英雄翻盘,而是逼着读者直视一个令人不安的结论:人的尊严,恰在于明知不可为而承担。适合愿意被'刺痛'而非被'安慰'的读者,读完留下的,是一种被称作catharsis的、混杂着恐惧与怜悯的颤栗。

Fate, free will, truth, and sight.
其实看的Jebb的英文译本 但懒得找了
有这样的悲剧,人类没有白存在过。
最惨烈的悲观主义
西方戏剧课。戏剧好歹能看懂在讲什么,光这一点就比小说强(是给小说虐成什么了。。)

Always infatuated with the tragedy of Oedipus, the depth of the elements that Sophocles brought to the table is unfathomable, your wisdom grows an inch every time you read it. (Extremely love the critical excerpts following the play in this edition)
不愧是悲剧代表作。揭露真相和自戳双目那两幕想看现场演出…… 结尾总结写的不错: we must call no one happy who is of mortal race, until he has crossed life’s border, free of pain.
