Description
The Plays of Sophocles by A. F. Garvie provides a comprehensive assessment of the seven extant plays of this ancient Greek tragedian. This second edition has been revised to include an updated further reading list and more detailed information on the chorus and staging of the plays. Garvie's focus is on Sophocles' tragic thinking, exploring the concept of the 'Sophoclean hero', and examining the dramatic structure of his works. The book offers a nuanced understanding of why Sophocles remains relevant today, moving beyond the traditional view of him as a pious religious conformist. This volume complements other guides to ancient Greek tragedy, including The Plays of Euripides and The Plays of Aeschylus, both also available in second editions from Bloomsbury.
