The Three Great Epics
Three of the greatest literary works are Oedipus the King,
Antigone and the Odyssey. Oedipus the King and Antigone, part of a
three part series, was composed by Sophocles and performed on the
stage during a three day festival. ... The following shall be a comparison between
these three great epics in terms of their similarities and their
differences.
In comparing Oedipus the King, Antigone and Odyssey, there is
a similarity between all three of them in terms of the main
characters’ leadership in response to to situations. ... Based on these three great epics, they are all in
similar because they characters of each epic have a great common point
in terms of their leadership under situations.
Though these three epics may have a similarity, these epics
greatly differ in with one another in terms of the Greek Gods and
Goddesses roles. ...
In conclusion the three great epics; Oedipus the King,
Antigone and Odyssey are similar in terms of the characters taking
leadership when the situation demanded it. Also these three epics
differed in terms of the actions of the gods and goddesses and how
they were presented in the epics. Perhaps the reason why these great
epics have endured over thousands of years is perhaps because of their
universal content.
