LYCOS RETRIEVER 
Oedipus
built 654 days ago
Thebes turns to Oedipus to save them again by ridding them of a terrible plague. Sophocles may have written this play shortly after a great plague which struck Athens; Thucydides' History presents a powerful depiction of this plague. (Read on for several screens in the Thucydides link) Compare the two and how they function in each text.
