Overall okay performance

Initially unimpressed with narration but with continued listening it improved and was overall a decent listen. Had to listen to this play a few times to really appreciate it.

Tragic and thought provoking

A classic of art and theater. A short and sweet tragic play that inspires debate and bittersweet joy whenever played.

Worthy of Shakespeare

It was a surprise that the translation from ancient Greek was to Elizabethan English. That required more concentration than the story deserved. But all in all, a very interesting story, well presented.

It Was More Interesting than the Iliad

This was definitely one of the more interesting books/plays that I have read this year in my high school English class covering antiquity.

classic humor of suicide and murder

I don't know whose idea was to make tragedies funny but I'm kind of glad they did. the narration here is only one person which is not nearly as fun when the narration is done really well and everyone gets really into it. I think I might should have purchased the Oedipus stories also and just listen to all three.
