First published in Peter Meineck and Paul Woodruff's Sophocles:
Four Tragedies , this riveting translation by Peter Meineck of
Sophocles' Philoctetes features a new Introduction by Paul
Woodruff. "Peter Meineck has given us a superbly vivid rendering of
the play, informed throughout by his practical experience in the
theater. His is a Philoctetes that is supremely alive, from start
to finish. . . . [I]deal for classroom use . . . accompanied by a
new and thoughtful introduction from philosopher and classicist
Paul Woodruff. Woodruff anchors the play in the complex web of
fears and anxieties of 409 BCE, as both Sophocles' life and Athens'
imperial heyday drew to a close. . . . [A]n exceptionally fine work
of translation and scholarship that will go far toward demolishing
dismissals of the play as inaccessible or unengaging for the modern
reader. Sophocles, Meineck and Woodruff eloquently remind us,
speaks to every age, not least our own." -Thomas R. Keith, Loyola
University Chicago in CJ-Online
