Available for the first time as an independent work, David
Grene's legendary translation of "Oedipus the King" renders
Sophocles' Greek into cogent, vivid, and poetic English for a new
generation to savor. Over the years, Grene and Lattimore's
"Complete Greek Tragedies" have been the preferred choice of
millions of readers--for personal libraries, individual study, and
classroom use. This new, stand-alone edition of Sophocles' searing
tale of jealousy, rage, and revenge will continue the tradition of
the University of Chicago Press's classic series.
Praise for David Grene and Richmond Lattimore's "Complete Greek
Tragedies"
"This is it. No qualifications. Go out and buy it
everybody."--Kenneth Rexroth, "Nation
"
"The translations deliberately avoid the highly wrought and
affectedly poetic; their idiom is contemporary. . . . They have
life and speed and suppleness of phrase."--"Times Education
Supplement
"
