The Penn Greek Drama Series presents original literary translations
of the entire corpus of classical Greek drama: tragedies, comedies,
and satyr plays. It is the only contemporary series of all the
surviving work of Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides, Aristophanes,
and Menander. "A boon for classicists and general readers alike.
For the reader who comes to tragedy for the first time, these
translations are eminently 'accessible.'. . . For the classicist,
these versions constitute an ambitious reinterpretation of
traditional masterpieces."--"Boston Book Review" "A speakable
version of Sophocles's 'Philoctetes': as it were, after 25 years, a
sequel to Pound's 'The Women of Trachis'." --Hugh Kenner, "New York
Times Book Review" "A two-year project to publish the corpus of
classical Greek drama in translations by an impressive array of
contemporary poets. It may not be long before anyone who mentions
that he is reading Sophocles in Greek can expect to be told, 'Oh,
but you simply "must' read it in translation.'"--"New Yorker"
"Don't look for the wild and woolly--these were put together by
wordsmiths. . . . But they are a far cry from some of the stodgier
translations."--"Washington Post" "The 12-volume set will offer
readers new verse translations of the complete surviving tragedies
of Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides, as well as the surviving
comedies of Aristophanes and Menander. The complete line of Greek
theater classics has not been offered to readers since
1938."--"Publishers Weekly"
