Oedipus

Oedipus by Sophocles is such an interesting play to read, in my opinion. The twists and turns are intriguing and keep the reader captivated. Reading Oedipus is almost like watching a crash; you know what is going to happen but there's no way to stop and you just can't look away. It's interesting that the punishment Sophocles chose for Oedipus was to have him blind himself and be exiled, a punishment worse then death. The only thing that bothers me about the story of Oedipus is that they waited so long to find the killer of Laius.
I have not begun reading Medea yet but I look forward to doing so because the story sounds interesting.
