Description
Sophocles' Ajax presents a powerful exploration of the human cost of ambition and the consequences of denied honour. This new edition of the play offers a detailed analysis of style, language, and metre, as well as consideration of wider issues such as ethics, rhetoric, and characterisation. The introduction and commentary scrutinise all important aspects of the drama, including notorious dramaturgical problems and questions of literary history. The translation accompanying the commentary ensures that this edition will be accessible to readers with varying levels of experience in Hellenistic studies. This edition provides a comprehensive understanding of Sophocles' creative interaction with previous accounts of the myth, making it an invaluable resource for scholars and readers interested in the history of drama.
