Oedipus is a play by the 5th-century BCE Athenian dramatist Euripides. The play is now lost except for some fragments. The plot of the play covers similar ground as Sophocles’ famous Oedipus the King but from the fragments we know that there were some significant and perhaps surprising differences.
