This study of Sophocles' Oedipus at Colonus demonstrates the
applicability of narrative models to drama. It presents a major
contribution not only to Sophoclean criticism but to dramatic
criticism as a whole. For the first time, the methods of
contemporary narrative theory are thoroughly applied to the text of
a single major play. Sophocles' Oedipus at Colonus is presented as
a uniquely rich text, which deftly uses the figure and history of
the blind Oedipus to explore and thematize some of the basic
narratological concerns of Greek tragedy: the relation between the
narrow here-and-now of visible stage action and the many off-stage
worlds that have to be mediated into it through narrative,
including the past, the future, other dramatizations of the myth,
and the world of the fifth-century audience.
