enntry #7 "Oedipus The King" translated by, Dudley Fitts and Robert Fitzgerald.

       Before reading "Oedipus The King"  translated by, Dudley Fitts and Robert Fitzgerald, I wasn't familiar with the story just by looking at the title.  however, when I started reading the story, some flashback  come to my main. I started asking to my self,  where I know this story from? I know this story?. while I was reading I was also thinking about my questions. after few minutes reading I realized that I saw a play about this story when I was in high school call Oedipus the King with Christopher Plummer. so I started getting familiar with the story. What I liked the most in the story was the mystery that  Oedipus dedicates himself to the discovery and prosecution of Laius’s murderer and then he realize that king Laius was his father and that he kill his biological father and sleep with his biological mother. I would definitely recommend this story to a friend because as more you read the story become more and more interested.
