desertcart.com: Antigone, Oedipus the King, Electra (Oxford World's Classics): 9780199537174: Sophocles, Kitto, H. D. F., Hall, Edith: Books

Review: PREEMINENT CLASSICAL TRAGEDY - These three Greek tragedies by the master, Sophocles, present human issues that have impact and meaning in our "modern" world. Consider Creon in Antigone speaking as the king of a city-state: "...A man who rules a state and will not ever steer the wisest course, but is afraid, and says not what he thinks, that man is worthless". Consider our present "ruler", who is driven by spin meisters and polls, who makes decisions not on the wisest course but out of fear of losing reelection. The wisdom of Sophocles has survived 2500 years and still people are not listening. The translations of these significant additions to Western Civilization are superb and are supported by notes which provide verbatim translations from the Greek which indicate the translator's skill and the original Greek scripting. The choral sections are excellent and clearly show not only the artistic use of the Greek dramatic chorus but also show how Greek tragic drama was presented to audiences and how the chorus was used as an integral part of the dramatic whole.
Review: Exactly what you would expect. - I purchased this for my daughter who is taking an AP English class. She thought that she would need to purchase the book but, in fact, the school provided it so she had one for school and one for home. I plan to read the book after she is finished since I have never read the book. I am happy with the purchase and feel I got the book for a very good price.
