Two Plays of Sophocles
I just came across these super short summaries I wrote for Oedipus the King and Antigone. I might as well post them. Hopefully they will be useful the next time I/we read them:

Thanks for the super-short summaries!
By the way, the list says that the next reading is: PLUTARCH, The Lives of Noble Grecians and Romans, in Vol. 14. "Lycurgus," "Numa Pompilius,"
"Lycurgus and Numa Compared," pp. 32-64; "Alexander" and Caesar," pp. 540-604 [1:6].
Am I correct to assume that we will just read the first selection (32-64) for next time?
I think that is a good idea. Sorry, I just noticed your post. Is Ben coming?
