Oedipus

Guns. Murder. Incest. Violence. Ancient Greece never looked so good.

A black plague grips the nation. death hangs heavy over the city. The streets are lined with the sick and dying. Discontent is rife. Riots are on the brink of toppling an unstable government. One ruler clings to power over a crumbling kingdom, racked by violence and misery. One man losing control over his people, family and life. Traitors surround him. Tortured by the past, caged in the present. Is the bleak prophesy about to be fulfilled? Is this hell the creature of his own madness, the spite of wilful gods, or an evil plot to destroy his throne?
