內容簡介

《伊底帕斯王》是古希臘悲劇作家索福克勒斯(Sophocles)的經典代表作,也被譽為西方戲劇史上最偉大的悲劇之一。

故事講述底比斯國王伊底帕斯為了拯救遭瘟疫肆虐的城邦,決心追查舊國王遭殺害的真相,卻在抽絲剝繭的過程中,發現自己完全實現了悲慘的預言:他無意間殺死親生父親、並娶了自己的母親,正是神諭中注定要帶來災厄的人。

這部作品,透過伊底帕斯從光明走向黑暗、從自信走向毀滅的過程,深刻探討命運與自由意志、人類認知的侷限與挖掘真相的代價。採用戲劇性的懸疑鋪陳,使讀者與觀眾逐步揭開悲劇真相,感受到不可逆轉的命運力量。

《伊底帕斯王》展現了希臘悲劇中「命運不可違」的核心思想,同時也啟發後世對人性、認識與責任的深刻反思。

 
“Oedipus Tyrannos is the first Greek play many readers encounter, and this version is their ideal gateway. Emily Wilson's verse line is effortlessly graceful, whether in taut, tense dialogue exchanges or in the lyrical choral odes.”
 
—JAMES ROMM, Bard College
