Description
A stand-alone edition of Sophocles's Antigone taken from Chicago's renowned translations of the Greek tragedies.
Drawn from the authoritative third edition of the University of Chicago Press's Complete Greek Tragedies series, this stand-alone edition of Elizabeth Wyckoff's elegant rendition of Antigone reminds readers why it endures as one of the most widely read and admired of Sophocles's plays. Though the story unfolds in the aftermath of Oedipus the King, Antigone was the first of the Theban Plays written by Sophocles.
Mark Griffith and Glenn W. Most's introduction to the story of one woman's brave resistance in the face of unfathomable loss provides essential information about the play's first production, plot, and reception in antiquity.
