| On the sites listed below, you will find study notes for all of the plays we will read this term, except Phaedra. For Antigone, you may have to look for the �Oedipus Trilogy��which includes Oedipus the King (aka Oedipus Rex), Oedipus at Colonus, and Antigone. Some sites require you to register before you can enter; many have annoying popups. However, all can be useful IF they are not used to plagiarize or as a substitute for reading the text. I am listing these here for two reasons: first, because I strongly encourage you to read at least one of them before or as you are reading the plays; second, because I want you to know that I know about these study guides (and others not listed) and that I take their existence into consideration when creating reading quizzes, exams, and assignments. |
