He was 90 years old when he wrote Oedipus at Colonus. Even though it's the second of the three Theban plays, he wrote it last.
Oedipus Rex, Oedipus at Colonus, and Antigone
Sophocles (c. 496 B.C.E. - c. 406 B.C.E.) wrote the tragedies "Antigone" and "Oedipus Rex."Specifically, the ancient Greek dramatist claimed as his hometown Colonus. Nowadays, Colonus is part of the Greek capital city of Athens. But back at the time of Sophocles', Colonus was known as the place where tragic Theban King Oedipus died and was buried.
Sophocles was the author of the trilogy "Oedipus Rex," "Oedipus at Colonus" and "Antigone."Specifically, Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.) was an ancient Greek playwright who was born in Colonus, but spent much of his professional life in nearby Athens. He did not write the plays specifically as a trilogy. They just happened to all be plays about the life and death of Theban King Oedipus and his children.
Where Oedipus is going to die is the theme of "Oedipus at Colonus" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus lives and relives on a daily basis the dreadful prophecy that results in his personal and professional disgrace. But he makes a stop at a grove near Colonus outside Athens. There, he remembers that the prophecy is not all bad. Indeed, the prophecy reveals that Oedipus will die a special death and that his burial place will give luck to its location.
