Sophocles' classic Greek tragedy "Oedipus Rex" is still relevant today.

Oedipus, the King of Thebes, who is

driven to learn the cause of a plague plaguing his city, is the main character of the play. He conducts research
and comes upon a dreadful prophecy that states he will kill his father and wed his mother.

Oedipus accidentally fulfills the prophecy in his unwavering quest for the truth, and upon discovering the
horrible consequences of his actions, he blinds himself. The drama examines issues related to fate, free will,
and the results of one's decisions. It serves as a potent example of the idea that, despite their greatest efforts,
people cannot escape their fates.

In the end, "Oedipus Rex" serves as a cautionary story about the boundaries of human understanding and the
unavoidable hold of fate on our lives, inspiring viewers to contemplate deeply on the intricacies of the human
condition.
