Dipus

By Voltaire

Book Overview

OEdipus was written when Voltaire was but nineteen years of age. It was played for the first time in 1718, and ran for forty-five nights. Du Fr sne, a celebrated actor, and of the same age as the author, played the part of OEdipus; and Madame Desmar ts, a famous actress, did Jocaste, and soon after quitted the stage. In this edition, the part of Philoctetes is restored, and stands exactly as it was in the first representation.
