Based on the conviction that only translators who write poetry
themselves can properly re-create the celebrated and timeless
tragedies of Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides, the Greek Tragedy
in New Translations offers new translations that go beyond the
literal meaning of the Greek in order to evoke the poetry of the
originals.
The volume brings together four major works by one of the greatest
classical dramarists: Electra, translated by Anne Carson and
Michael Shaw, a gripping story of revenge, manipulation, and the
often tense conflict of the human spirit; Aias, translated by
Herbert Golder and Richard Pevear, an account of the heroic suicide
of the Trojan war hero better known as Ajax; Philoctetes,
translated by Carl Phillips and Diskin Clay, a morally complex and
penetrating play about the conflict between personal integrity and
public duty; and The Women of Trachis, translated by C.K. Williams
and Gregory W. Dickerson, an urgent tale of mutability in a
universe of precipitous change. These four tragedies were
originally available as single volumes. This new volume retains the
informative introductions and explanatory notes of the original
editions and adds a single combined glossary and Greek line
numbers.
