Book Details
Hugh Lloyd-Jones now gives us a masterful new translation of the seven surviving plays of Sophocles. The facing Greek is the corrected version of the Oxford Classical Text edited by Hugh Lloyd-Jones and Nigel Wilson (1990). Volume I contains Oedipus Tyrannus (which tells the famous Oedipus story), Ajax (a heroic tragedy of wounded self-esteem), and Electra (the story of two siblings who seek revenge on their mother and her lover for killing their father). Volume II contains Oedipus at Colonus (the climax of the fallen hero's life), Antigone (a conflict between public authority and an individual woman's conscience), Philoctetes (Odysseus' intrigue to bring an unwilling hero to the Trojan War), and The Women of Trachis (a fatal attempt by Heracles' wife to regain her husband's love).
