The timeless Theban tragedies of Sophocles Oedipus the Tyrant,
Oedipus at Colonus, and Antigone have fascinated and moved
audiences and readers across the ages with their haunting plots and
their unforgettable heroes and heroines. Now, following the best
texts faithfully, and translating the key moral, religious, and
political terminology of the plays accurately and consistently,
Peter J. Ahrensdorf and Thomas L. Pangle allow contemporary readers
to study the most literally exact reproductions of precisely what
Sophocles wrote, rendered in readily comprehensible English.
These translations enable readers to engage the Theban plays of
Sophocles in their full, authentic complexity, and to study with
precision the plays profound and enduring human questions. In the
preface, notes to the plays, and introductions, Ahrensdorf and
Pangle supply critical historical, mythic, and linguistic
background information, and highlight the moral, religious,
political, philosophic, and psychological questions at the heart of
each of the plays. Even readers unfamiliar with Greek drama will
find what they need to experience, reflect on, and enjoy these
towering works of classical literature."
