The name The Theban Plays is a modern grouping of three of plays by Sophokles (Sophocles); the plays include: Oedipus Tyrannus, Oedipus at Kolonus (Colonus) and Antigone.
The plays deal with the life and death of Oedipus and the fate of his children: Eteokles (Eteocles), Polynikes (Polynices), Ismene and Antigone.
I recommend the Penguin Classics book The Theban Plays translated by E. F. Watling (ISBN 0140440038); you can find these plays at your local library or you can order them through the Book Shop on this site which is linked to Amazon.com.
