Produced in Athens during the fifth century BC, the tragedies of
Sophocles are a high point in world literature, vividly depicting
unforgettable characters confronted with emotional crises, moral
dilemmas, and the inscrutable ways of the gods. This volume
examines Sophocles' reputation as a dramatic poet both in his own
day and later in antiquity, considering how it was that some of his
plays survived from his time to ours. It investigates the qualities
of those plays, focusing on key aspects of Sophoclean dramaturgy
such as stagecraft, narrative, rhetoric, and heroism. And it
incorporates within its discussion not just the seven plays that
survive in full, but those major fragments discovered in recent
years which shed so much light on Sophocles' extraordinary ability
as a poet and a dramatist. All Greek is translated, making this
volume accessible to anyone with an interest in one of the greatest
playwrights of all time.
