书籍简介

《俄狄浦斯王》是古希腊作家索福克勒斯创作的剧本，约公元前431年演出。《俄狄浦斯王》戏剧，取材于希腊神话传说中关于俄狄浦斯杀父娶母的故事，展示了富有典型意义的希腊悲剧冲突——人跟命运的冲突。俄狄浦斯智慧超群，热爱邦国，大公无私。在命运面前，他不是俯首帖耳或苦苦哀求，而是奋起抗争，设法逃离“神示”的预言。继而，他猜破女妖的谜语，为民除了害。为了解救人民的瘟疫灾难，他不顾一切地追查杀害前王的凶手，一旦真相大白，又勇于承担责任，主动请求将他放逐。

对于这样一个为人民、为国家做了无数好事的英雄所遭受的厄运，作者发出了对神的正义性的怀疑，控诉命运的不公和残酷，赞扬主人公在跟命运斗争中所表现出来的坚强意志和英雄行为。因此，尽管结局是悲惨的，但这种明知“神示”不可违而违之的精神，正是对个人自主精神的肯定，是雅典奴隶主民主派先进思想意识的反映。

作者简介

索福克勒斯（Sophocles），古希腊作家，生于公元前496年，逝于公元前406年，出身于雅典富商家庭。曾经两次当选为将军。他起先出任税务委员会主席，该委员会的职责是负责改革雅典的整个财政政策，后来在西西里失败之后的困难时期又任“十人委员会”委员。索福克勒斯颇受雅典公民的爱戴。作品有：《俄狄浦斯王》、《安提戈涅》、《俄狄浦斯在科洛诺斯》、《埃阿斯》、《特刺喀斯少女》等

Sophocles (c. 497/6 – winter 406/5 BC) is one of three ancient Greek tragedians whose plays have survived. His first plays were written later than, or contemporary with, those of Aeschylus; and earlier than, or contemporary with, those of Euripides. Sophocles wrote over 120 plays,[3] but only seven have survived in a complete form: Ajax, Antigone, Women of Trachis, Oedipus Rex, Electra, Philoctetes and Oedipus at Colonus. For almost fifty years, Sophocles was the most celebrated playwright in the dramatic competitions of the city-state of Athens which took place during the religious festivals of the Lenaea and the Dionysia. He competed in thirty competitions, won twenty-four, and was never judged lower than second place. Aeschylus won thirteen competitions, and was sometimes defeated by Sophocles; Euripides won four.
