Based on the conviction that only translators who write poetry
themselves can best re-create the celebrated and timeless tragedies
of Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides, the Greek Tragedy in New
Translations series offers new translations that go beyond the
literal meaning of the Greek in order to evoke the poetry of the
originals. The tragedies collected here were originally available
as single volumes. This new collection retains the informative
introductions and explanatory notes of the original editions, with
Greek line numbers and a single combined glossary added for easy
reference.
This volume collects for the first time three of Sophocles most
moving tragedies, all set in mythical Thebes: Oedipus the King,
perhaps the most powerful of all Greek tragedies; Oedipus at
Colonus, a story that reveals the reversals and paradoxes that
define moral life; and Antigone, a touchstone of thinking about
human conflict and human tragedy, the role of the divine in human
life, and the degree to which men and women are the creators of
their own destiny.
