Edipo a Colono, scritta da Sofocle e rappresentata postuma nel 401 a.C., costituisce la prosecuzione della vicenda raccontata dallo stesso Sofocle nell'Edipo re. Edipo, ormai mendico e cieco, nel suo vagabondare insieme alla figlia Antigone, arriva a Colono, nei pressi di Atene, in obbedienza ad un'antica profezia che diceva che l“ sarebbero terminati i suoi giorni. Gli abitanti del luogo, conosciuta la sua identitˆ, vorrebbero allontanarlo, ma il re di Atene, Teseo, gli accorda ospitalitˆ e protezione. A questo punto Edipo rivela a Teseo che quando i Tebani diverranno nemici degli Ateniesi la sua tomba preserverˆ i confini dell'Attica. L'altra figlia, Ismene, li raggiunge portando la notizia dello scontro fra i fratelli Eteocle e Polinice, anch'essi figli di Edipo. Secondo un oracolo la vittoria sarebbe arrisa a quello dei fratelli che fosse riuscito ad assicurarsi l'appoggio paterno. Arriva anche Creonte, re di Tebe, per convincere Edipo a tornare in patria ma, visto il rifiuto di quest'ultimo, Creonte prende in ostaggio le figlie, che vengono per˜ messe in salvo da Teseo. Giunge poi Polinice nel tentativo di ingraziarsi le simpatie del padre, ma, dopo un litigio nel quale maledice lui e il fratello Eteocle (i due moriranno l'uno per mano dell'altro, come viene raccontato nei Sette contro Tebe di Eschilo), viene scacciato da Edipo. Infine si manifestano una serie di prodigi divini che fanno capire ad Edipo che la sua fine � vicina. Egli viene accompagnato da Teseo in un boschetto sacro alle Eumenidi e l“ sparisce per volontˆ degli dei, dopo aver predetto al re di Atene lunga prosperitˆ per la sua cittˆ. Antigone e Ismene vorrebbero correre a vedere il luogo in cui il loro padre ora riposa ma Teseo le ferma: a nessuno � lecito accostarsi a quel luogo. Le due sorelle si preparano allora a fare rientro a Tebe (Aonia edizioni).

Adequate for our use.....
Format: Hardcover
The book arrived a week before expected and they were true to their evaluation that this was a used book in "acceptable condition". It was once a library book and has been well loved. Someone has taken contact paper to try to salvage the cover and binding. It looks rumply, but we were getting this for a 1 year old whose Dad is going to go to Heavy Equipment School for the next 4 years, so this will be a fine book for a little guy as the insides look fine.....I wouldn't have been happy if I'd wanted a new looking book, but the price was very reasonable. I think it was $3.99 for shipping and a penny for the book. SUCHA DEAL!

Great Book!
Format: Hardcover
We bought this book a year ago for our then almost three-year-old. He loves it. As does his older sister (8), and brother (6) and his younger brother (almost 2). It has held up amazingly well considering the amount or use and abuse it gets. I love that it tells actual names and functions. More than once we've seen a machine while driving around town, then come home and looked it up. Well worth the money.

Great!
Format: Hardcover
This book came in time for my grandson's birthday. It is FANTASTIC! It is large, colorful and has gatefold pages (which I didn't realize). He loves it and we love reading it to him.
