Sophocles "Oedipus the Ruler".

A tragic crisis in one part.

Oedipus rules Thebes wisely and fairly after saving the city from ruin by remembering the riddle of the Sphinx. Before his arrival, the ruler Lājs was murdered, but the murderer remains unknown.

When the plague strikes Thebes again, the gods predict that the scourge will not end until the killer is found and banished. Oedipus will do everything to find her, not realizing that in the search for the murderer, he will discover unknown facts about himself and will have to fall into a deep personality crisis, which is a humanly inevitable part of every journey of self-discovery.

A story about the path to the truth at any cost. This time the price is very high.
