The Grene and Lattimore edition of the Greek tragedies has been
among the most widely acclaimed and successful publications of the
University of Chicago Press. On the occasion of the Centennial of
the University of Chicago and its Press, we take pleasure in
reissuing this complete work in a handsome four-volume slipcased
edition as well as in redesigned versions of the familiar
paperbacks.
For the Centennial Edition two of the original translations have
been replaced. In the original publication David Grene translated
only one of the three Theban plays, Oedipus the King. Now he has
added his own translations of the remaining two, Oedipus at Colonus
and Antigone, thus bringing a new unity of tone and style to this
group. Grene has also revised his earlier translation of Prometheus
Bound and rendered some of the former prose sections in verse.
These new translations replace the originals included in the
paperback volumes Sophocles I (which contains all three Theban
plays), Aeschylus II, Greek Tragedies, Volume I, and Greek
Tragedies, Volume III, all of which are now being published in
second editions.
All other volumes contain the translations of the tragedies of
Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides for the most part from the
original versions first published in the 1940s and 1950s. These
translations have been the choice of generations of teachers and
students, selling in the past forty years over three million
copies.
