The Theban PlaysOedipustheKing,OedipusatColonus,AntigoneSophoclestranslated, with notes and an introduction, by Ruth Fainlight and Robert J. Littman
Chronicling the downfall of Oedipus, the legendary king of Thebes, and his descendants, the Theban Plays are as relevant to present thought about love, duty, patriotism, family, and war as when they were written 2,500 years ago. In combining the skills of a distinguished poet and a classical scholar, this new edition of the Theban Plays is both a major work of poetry and a faithful translation of the original works.
