28. Oedipus the King - Sophocles

Distinctly more detailed settings than Aeschylus. Sophocles writes with more character dialogue. More emphasis is placed on putting the play in a historical context. I think I prefer the roughly hewn mythology of Aeschylus. I find Aeschylus' language more powerful too :) Really good fun regardless.
