It is the second of three plays that together form a trilogy known as the Oedipus Cycle. The Oedipus King of Thebes, is a story of the downfall of Oedipus, a man whose life was cursed by the gods. The play follows Oedipus, a young prince of Thebes, who is warned by an oracle that he will one day kill his father and marry his mother. In an attempt to avoid his fate, Oedipus flees Thebes, only to fulfill the prophecy and unwittingly marry his mother Jocasta.

He defeats them and continues on his way. Eventually, he arrives in the city of Thebes and solves the riddle of the Sphinx, freeing the city from its curse. He is rewarded by the people of Thebes and is offered the crown of the city. He accepts and marries the widow of the former king, Jocasta. Little does he know that she is his mother. <\/p>\n<p>The rest of the play follows Oedipus and Jocasta as they come to realize the truth of the oracle\u2019s prophecy. Oedipus is filled with guilt and shame and desperately searches for the truth. He discovers that his father was murdered by a band of robbers and that he himself is the murderer. He then gouges his eyes out in a fit of despair and leaves Thebes in exile. Jocasta commits suicide and the city of Thebes is cursed by the gods. Oedipus eventually makes his way to the city of Colonus where he is welcomed by the citizens and dies in peace. <\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Teachings_of_the_Book\"><\/span>Teachings of the Book<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Oedipus King of Thebes is an exploration of human life and the power of fate.
