About this product

Product Information

The heroic Greek dramas that have moved theatergoers and readers since the fifth century B.C. Towering over the rest of Greek tragedy, the three plays that tell the story of the fated Theban royal family-- Antigone, Oedipus the King and Oedipus at Colonus-- are among the most enduring and timeless dramas ever written. Robert Fagles's authoritative and acclaimed translation conveys all of Sophocles's lucidity and power: the cut and thrust of his dialogue, his ironic edge, the surge and majesty of his choruses and, above all, the agonies and triumphs of his characters. This Penguin Classics edition features an introduction and notes by the renowned classicist Bernard Knox. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.

    The Theban plays by Sophocles

    Great plays. More than a thousand years old yet still entertaining. Oedipus Rex is considered one of the greatest plays ever written

    The book is an intuitive and captivating read.

    Robert Fagles presented an unadulterated translation of the book, clearly depicting the objective ideas and meaning inherent in the original non-english version.

    Classic book; great read.

    I bought this book for a class but I will not be selling it when the class is over. This is a great book and an important example of classic literature.
