Sixty years ago, the University of Chicago Press undertook a
momentous project: a new translation of the Greek tragedies that
would be the ultimate resource for teachers, students, and readers.
They succeeded. Under the expert management of eminent classicists
David Grene and Richmond Lattimore, those translations combined
accuracy, poetic immediacy, and clarity of presentation to render
the surviving masterpieces of Aeshylus, Sophocles, and Euripides in
an English so lively and compelling that they remain the standard
translations. Today, Chicago is taking pains to ensure that our
Greek tragedies remain the leading English-language versions
throughout the twenty-first century. In this highly anticipated
third edition, Mark Griffith and Glenn W. Most have carefully
updated the translations to bring them even closer to the ancient
Greek while retaining the vibrancy for which our English versions
are famous. This edition also includes brand-new translations of
Euripides' "Medea", "The Children of Heracles", "Andromache", and
"Iphigenia among the Tourians", fragments of lost plays by
Aeschylus, and the surviving portion of Sophocles' satyr-drama "The
Trackers". New introductions for each play offer essential
information about its first production, plot, and reception in
antiquity and beyond. In addition, each volume includes an
introduction to the life and work of its tragedian, as well as
notes addressing textual uncertainties and a glossary of names and
places mentioned in the plays. In addition to the new content, the
volumes have been reorganized both within and between volumes to
reflect the most up-to-date scholarship on the order in which the
plays were originally written. The result is a set of handsome
paperbacks destined to introduce new generations of readers to
these foundational works of Western drama, art, and life.
