SOPHOCLES

Dramas & Plays

A collection of all three of Sophocles' three Theban plays, Oedipus Rex, Oedipus at Colonus, and Antigone. Each work was part of a tetralogy, a composition made up of four distinct works. The other three works of each tetralogy are now lost. Although these are published under a single cover, they are not a trilogy and do not contain a continuous narrative. The three plays were written for different festivals, sometimes years apart. Nonetheless, the three plays cover the fate of the royal family of King Oedipus at the city state Thebes during and after the reign of King Oedipus.Sophocles is one of three ancient Greeks tragedy writers, whose works have survived for posterity. Along with Aeschylus and Euripides. Sophocles wrote over 120 plays, but only seven manuscripts have survived. During his life at Athens, Sophocles competed in over thirty competitions at the festival of Dionysus. He won twenty-four, and never placed lower than second. Sophocles e is remembered as the founding father of western tragedy.

He was separated from his mother at an early age, and although she lived a mere 12 miles, he only met her a few times before her death when Douglass was seven years old. In his teenage years he taught himself to read, and started teaching his fellow slaves how to read the New Testament of the Bible.This was not looked well upon by the slave owning class. The beatings that followed nearly broke his spirit. However, he instead he resolved upon escape. After a number of unsuccessful attempts Douglass escaped to the northern states in 1838. His journey of escape from slavery in Maryland to New York City was assisted by members of the underground railroad, and took less than twenty-four hours to complete.He quickly became a public figure in the abolitionist movement.

For over twenty years France and Napoleon had been at war with the rest of Europe. The only thing that stood in their way were the forces of Great Britain. By 1815 peace had returned, France had been restrained, and Napoleon was in exile.From his prison island on St. Helena, the once great Napoleon would write that the 'Spanish Ulcer' was the main reason for the downfall of his empire. The backbone of that ulcer was Lord Wellington's peninsular army.At times Wellington would describe them as the 'scum of the earth', but in truth he knew them to be the premier fighting force in the whole of Europe. And the cream of the crop in Wellington's army were the 95th Rifles.Born in Ireland, Edward Costello enlisted as a private and rose through the ranks to become an officer in the British Legion. Witnessing much of the war for the Iberian peninsula and taking part in the Waterloo campaign in Belgium, Costello observed and survived some of the bloodiest battles of the war.This is the story of the army that brought low the greatest military genius in European history as told through the eyes of a ranker of the 95th Rifles, Edward Costello.
