Sophocles I contains the plays “Antigone,” translated by Elizabeth Wyckoff; “Oedipus the King,” translated by David Grene; and “Oedipus at Colonus,” translated by Robert Fitzgerald. Many years ago, the University of Chicago Press undertook a momentous project: a new translation of the Greek tragedies that would be the ultimate resource for teachers, students, and readers. They succeeded. Under the expert management of eminent classicists David Grene and Richmond Lattimore, those translations combined accuracy, poetic immediacy, and clarity of presentation to render the surviving masterpieces of Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides in an English so lively and compelling that they remain the standard translations. The updated third editions of these classic works were designed to ensure that our Greek tragedies remain the leading English-language versions throughout the twenty-first century. In this highly anticipated third edition, Mark Griffith and Glenn W. Most have carefully updated the translations to bring them even closer to the ancient Greek while retaining the vibrancy for which our English versions are famous. This edition also includes brand-new translations of Euripides’ Medea, The Children of Heracles, Andromache, and Iphigenia among the Taurians, fragments of lost plays by Aeschylus, and the surviving portion of Sophocles’s satyr-drama The Trackers. New introductions for each play offer essential information about its first production, plot, and reception in antiquity and beyond. In addition, each volume includes an introduction to the life and work of its tragedian, as well as notes addressing textual uncertainties and a glossary of names and places mentioned in the plays. In addition to the new content, the volumes have been reorganized both within and between volumes to reflect the most up-to-date scholarship on the order in which the plays were originally written. The result is a set of handsome paperbacks destined to introduce new generations of readers to these foundational works of Western drama, art, and life.

In "Plays of Sophocles: Oedipus the King; Oedipus at Colonus; Antigone," the esteemed playwright weaves a tapestry of fate, duty, and moral conflict, reflecting the complexities of human existence and the inexorable nature of destiny. The literary style exemplifies the classical Greek tragic form, characterized by compelling dialogue and profound philosophical inquiry. Each play serves not only as a dramatic narrative but also as a thematic exploration of ethical dilemmas faced by individuals in their struggle against societal expectations and divine will, thereby resonating through the ages in its exploration of human suffering and enlightenment. Sophocles, an eminent figure of ancient Greek literature, lived through a period of considerable political and cultural upheaval that influenced his works. His innovative use of character development and introduction of a third actor in the dramatic form exemplify his desire to deepen the exploration of human emotion and agency in the face of fate. Having personally witnessed the effects of war and tragedy in Athenian society, Sophocles' plays convey profound insights into the human condition, drawing on both personal and collective experiences of his time. This compilation is highly recommended for anyone seeking a deep understanding of classical tragedy and its relevance in contemporary discourse. Each play stands as a testament to Sophocles' genius and offers a rich dialogue on morality and human experience that remains pertinent to modern audiences.

The heroic Greek dramas that have moved theatergoers and readers since the fifth century B.C.
