This first trade paperback edition of the critically acclaimed 1986
hardcover Classical Illusions has been expanded with the addition
of 22 new short stories, "Siren Songs." A master satirist, Kessler
writes with devastating precision on the ironies of contemporary
life, transposing ancient stereoptypes into modern settings, and
holding modern mores up to the test of time.
The Penn Greek Drama Series presents original literary translations
of the entire corpus of classical Greek drama: tragedies, comedies,
and satyr plays. It is the only contemporary series of all the
surviving work of Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides, Aristophanes,
and Menander. This volume presents fresh versions of Sophocles's
Theban plays, which include the most famous of the ancient Greek
tragedies, King Oedipus. Sophocles reveals the history of Oedipus
from the fulfillment of the oracle that foretold he would kill his
father, outwit the Sphinx, marry his mother, and have a family,
through his banishment and tortured death as a blind man and the
attempted redemption of the family by his daughter, Antigone.
Translations are by Jascha Kessler (King Oedipus), George Garrett
(Oedipus at Colonus), and Kelly Cherry (Antigone).
