Oedipus Rex (BCP Greek Texts)by: Sophocles June 01, 1991 |
||
|
Sir Richard C. Jebb was arguably the foremost classicist of Victorian England. His commentaries on Sophocles, written more than a hundred years ago, are still indispensable today to all those seriously engaged with the texts. These works of historical as well as of practical value are now re-edited for the general public under the direction of Professor Easterling, accompanied by an essay on Jebb the scholar and the man (by Easterling) and individual introductions to particular plays by recognised Sophoclean specialists. The introductions are useful tools for bringing Jebb's work up-to-date where needed. An absolute must for every classicist, and indeed every undergraduate.

Complete Plays of Sophoclesby: Sophocles May 01, 1982 |
||
|
"The Complete Plays of Sophocles" presents a fundamental tradeoff: the translations of the seven extant plays of Sophocles were done by Sir Richard Claverhouse Jebb at the end of the 19th century, which means the translations are rather stilted. But on the other hand you get the seven extant plays of Sophocles in a single standard sized paperback volume. The formalism of Jebb's translations does provide a sense of the inherent dignity of Greek tragedy; besides, editor Moses Hadas has substituted moderate for extreme archaism in vocabulary, syntax, and word order regarding the dialogue (the choral poetry remains essentially intact). Sophocles wrote more than 120 plays, only seven of which have survived intact. If we were left with ... Read More: >>More Details |

Antigone (The Greek Tragedy in New Translations)by: Sophocles, Richard Emil Braun April 10, 2008 |
||
|
"Antigone" (441 BC), written by Sophocles, is a very old and well-known play. It is a tragedy, because in the end things go wrong for nearly every everyone. I say nearly for everybody because if you pay attention when you read this book, you will have enjoyed a good play, and appreciated the various themes the author tackles in it. So, in that case, things won't go wrong for you :)
The plot is not complicated. Creon is a king, and Antigone is his niece. Creon orders that Antigone's brother, recently killed, must remain without sepulture, due to the fact that he was a traitor. The punishment for anybody who defies his orders will be death. Despite knowing that, Antigone cannot help but think her duty forces her to give sepulture ... Read More: >>More Details |

"Philoctetes" takes place near the climax of the Trojan War. The title character has the great bow of Hercules, given by the demi-god on his pyre to Philoctetes's father. A member of the Achaean expedition that sailed to Troy, Philoctetes was making an altar on an island along the way when he was bitten by a snake. His cries of pain were so great that he was abandoned by his shipments, under the orders of Odysseus, and marooned on the deserted island of Lemnos. Alone and crippled, Philoctetes used the great bow to survive for the ten years the Achaeans have been fighting against Troy. During that time his hatred against the Achaeans in general, and Odysseus in particular, has grown. Meanwhile, back at Troy, Odysseus and the other Achaean chieftains ... Read More: >>More Details |
