Antigone / Oedipus the King / Electra / Philoctetes by Sophocles

Antigone records the moving and dramatic legend of one of the greatest of Greek heroines who stood for the individual conscience against the evils of civil authority. Oedipus the King, the first of the famous trilogy is undoubtedly Sophocles' masterpiece and considered by many the greatest of all classic tragedies.
