This 2009 book contains thirteen essays by senior international
experts on Greek tragedy looking at Sophocles' dramas. They
reassess their crucial role in the creation of the tragic
repertoire, in the idea of the tragic canon in antiquity, and in
the making and infinite re-creation of the tragic tradition in the
Renaissance and beyond. The introduction looks at the paradigm
shifts during the twentieth century in the theory and practice of
Greek theatre, in order to gain a perspective on the current state
of play in Sophoclean studies. The following three sections explore
respectively the way that Sophocles' tragedies provoked and
educated their original Athenian democratic audience, the language,
structure and lasting impact of his Oedipus plays, and the
centrality of his oeuvre in the development of the tragic tradition
in Aeschylus, Euripides, ancient philosophical theory,
fourth-century tragedy and Shakespeare.
