| Publisher Description: These two Greek tragedies need no introduction. Their power, riches and influence are immense. All the more reason, therefore, for a volume that can steer the reader through the Penguin translation by Robert Fagles, in which form these masterpieces have reached a far wider audience than Sophocles' original Greek. John Wilkins' Companion to the Antigone and Matthew Macleod's to Oedipus the King, together with an introduction discussing Sophocles and Attic tragedy, provide a valuable tool for the teacher, pupil or general reader. |
