Blinded and exiled from his city, Oedipus wanders the countryside, accompanied by his devoted daughter Antigone. Fate leads them to Colonus, a small town near Athens, where the Furies, goddesses of vengeance, are worshipped. Seeking refuge in the grove sacred to these deities, Oedipus learns from an oracle that his death on Athenian soil will bring protection and prosperity to the city, while disaster awaits Thebes. The local townspeople initially reject the defiled Oedipus, but the king of Athens, Theseus, recognizes his former glory and offers him sanctuary. As Oedipus's strength wanes, his sons, Polynices and Eteocles, arrive, each seeking his support in a brewing war for the Theban throne. Oedipus, consumed by bitterness and despair, curses both sons to die by each other's hands, a prophecy that ultimately comes to pass. The book explores the themes of fate, exile, and divine retribution, and offers a profound meditation on the nature of justice and the human condition.
