Description
Experience the timeless power of ancient Greek tragedy with this comprehensive collection of translations from the University of Chicago Press. Richmond Lattimore's translation of Aeschylus's "Agamemnon" and David Grene's translation of Aeschylus's "Prometheus Bound" are joined by David Grene's translations of Sophocles's "Oedipus the King" and "Antigone", and David Grene's translation of Euripides's "Hippolytus".
Originally published sixty years ago, this collection has remained the standard English-language version of these masterpieces, thanks to the expert management of David Grene and Richmond Lattimore. Now, in its third edition, Mark Griffith and Glenn W. Most have carefully updated the translations to bring them even closer to the ancient Greek, while retaining their poetic immediacy and clarity.
This edition includes new translations of Euripides's "Medea", "The Children of Heracles", "Andromache", and "Iphigenia among the Taurians", as well as fragments of lost plays by Aeschylus and the surviving portion of Sophocles's satyr-drama "The Trackers". New introductions provide essential information about each play's first production, plot, and reception in antiquity and beyond.
