Taken as a model by Aristotle in his \u003ci\u003ePoetics\u003c\/i\u003e, it became a yardstick for future generations. Since the play's rediscovery in the Renaissance, audiences - including Sigmund Freud - have found new interpretations and meanings in Sophocles' portrayal of the Theban king, inexorably pursuing the truth, only to discover that he has killed his father and married his mother.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46616110006430,"sku":"UBD-9780713686760","price":26.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780713686760.jpg?v=1773809344","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780713686760","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
