Description
This collection of timeless Greek dramas by Sophocles resonates with themes of fate, morality, and the struggle for justice. It features three iconic plays—Antigone, Oedipus the King, and Oedipus at Colonus—each vividly exploring the complexities of human existence and the consequences of individual choices. These narratives showcase the tension between personal convictions and societal laws, inviting readers to ponder deep ethical dilemmas.
Presented with compelling translations by Robert Fagles and insightful commentary by Bernard Knox, the works not only retain their original power but also engage a modern audience. Readers are drawn into the tragic fates of their protagonists, as they grapple with foreboding prophecies and the weight of their actions. As the stories unfold, they unravel the timeless human experience of loss, defiance, and redemption, making these plays as relevant today as they were over two millennia ago.
