Please use this forum to collaborate with each other if you are having difficulty with the text or the study guide. While I do not want you COPYING each other's answers, you may help each other with particularly complex passages or questions. I will be checking our blogsite frequently to offer assistance.
When you finish the text, you may want to consider the following questions. Feel free to comment or add your own points to ponder:

2. Does Sophocles believe in prophecy and fate?
3. What is Oedipus's fundamental hamartia?
4. What did you think of his final moments with his daughters / sisters?
