Anthony Quayle as Oedipus, and Juliet Stevenson plays Antigone.
Sophocles' "Oedipus at Colonus" (1984) TV broadcast.
my VHS tape of this broadcast isn't as good as the "Oedipus the King", especially the audio.

In the Hindu Tradition Man is a subset if all the divinity of nature. For the Greek gods, When Prometheus made Man, their attitude seems to be, "There goes the neighborhood." As for the Hebrews, Gods makes Man, and everything Man does gets God angry.

Interesting to see Oedipus the King and Antigone getting such high veiwings but this the second story of the triology somewhat ignored.
