Oedipus Rex

Like Hamlet, this story by Sophocles is quite popular, but I think people know more about this one, as opposed to the play about the Prince of Denmark. In philosophy class we were again reminded about the riddle that the Sphinx had Oedipus answer. I personally enjoyed this play better than Hamlet; perhaps because I'm more familiar with it. The storyline for this play is pretty twisted while it happens to make it interesting. Oedipus truly wanted to know his past and his destiny and ended in shock, when he found everything out. He'd killed his father and married his own mother.
