EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and poignant image captures the final moments of Sophocles' tragic play, Oedipus Tyrannus, or Oedipus Rex. The scene depicts Oedipus (right), the once-great king of Thebes, blinded and in despair, as he embraces his unknowing children, Antigone (left) and Polynices. The messenger (center) delivers the devastating news that Oedipus has unwittingly fulfilled the prophecy that foretold his own downfall and the tragic fate of his family. Oedipus, realizing the horrifying truth of his actions, has blinded himself in a desperate attempt to escape the knowledge of his own guilt. With his world shattered and his fate sealed, he takes his daughter Antigone by the hand and sets off on the roads as a wandering exile. This historical photograph, taken in the 19th century, is a testament to the enduring power of Sophocles' play, which continues to captivate audiences with its exploration of fate, hubris, and the human condition. The image serves as a reminder of the tragic consequences of Oedipus' actions and the profound impact of family ties, even in the face of unimaginable revelations. The play, first performed in ancient Greece around 429 BCE, has been a cornerstone of Western theatre and literature for over 2,500 years. This photograph, with its haunting and timeless image, offers a glimpse into the rich history of this classic work and the profound emotions it continues to evoke.
