The Burial at Thebes: A Version of Sophocles' Antigone
Farrar, Straus and Giroux
, 2005
"ARE WE SISTER, SISTER, BROTHER OR COWARD, COWARD, TRAITOR?"
A few years back, Mr. Heaney (an excellent poet in his own right) caused quite a stir with his stunning translation of Beowulf. My own reactions to that work were mixed. But who would have thought an Old English war epic/elegy would prove so commercially successful? ...

Translations
Researching translations is never an easy task, and in this case, where you'll have to search on Amazon for the title and the translator to find what you want, it's particularly difficult. Here's what I've found by comparing several editions: 1. David Grene ...

Between Meaning and Music
Most English translations of, say, the Greek New Testament are shepherded by a conviction that the original words had divine inspiration and so are best rendered verbatim wherever possible. At the same time, there generally is a concession (for good or ill) to the ...

A powerful and moving piece!
~I had to read OEDIPUS REX for my pre-IB sophomore English class, feeling not too happy with another dull, lengthy Greek play (we had to read THE ODYSSEY last year, and it got really redundant). But Sophocles' play...wow, it's totally different! The characters are so ...

The Theban Plays of Sophocles in chronological rather than narrative order
"The Theban Plays" from the Focus Classical Library collects three of Sophocles's greatest tragedies, which are arranged here in the chronological order they were written rather than the narrative order that would have "Antigone" last. "Antigone" was actually written ...

Strong Translation
H.D.F. Kitto was a distinguished interpreter of Greek tragedy. These translations, which were written for performance, are at once accurate, clear, and very elegant. Hall provides precisely as much information in the notes as the typical intelligent undergraduate ...

The stirring tale of a legendary royal family's fall and ultimate redemption, the Theban trilogy endures as the crowning achievement of Greek drama.

Antigone's Wake: A Novel of Imperial Athens
Nicholas Nicastro
Bella Rosa Books
, 2007
In view of a Playwrite and General
I thought that "Antigone's Wake" was not only a serious and incisive look into the life of an acknowledged Greek playwright and not as well known, his military career as a general. In manner of well crafted fiction, he bases the story on an abundance of ...
The Theban Plays: King Oedipus; Oedipus at Colonus; Antigone (Penguin Classics)
Sophocles
Penguin Classics
, 1950
The pinnacle of Greek tragedy...
These three plays stand as the best of the Greek tragedies, superior to the works of Sophocles' rivals Euripides and Aeschylus, mainly because these plays hold more depth and allow for more cultural analysis. They may seem long-winded at times, even repetitive, but I ...
