Description
Four seminal tragedies by the master Greek dramatist Sophocles are collected in this volume, featuring newly translated works. The plays explore themes of grief, power, and the human condition. Electra portrays the intense emotions of a young woman for her father, whose death is a result of her mother's actions. Ajax examines the complexities of heroism and the consequences of power. Women of Trachis dramatizes the tragic love and error of a woman's life, while Philoctetes investigates the conflict between physical force and moral strength. This collection is part of the Penguin Classics series, which has been publishing authoritative texts of classic literature for over seventy years.
