Summary

Award-winning poet-playwrights Robert Bagg and James Scully present a gripping new translation of Western literature's earliest treasures in The Complete Plays of Sophocles. In the tradition of Robert Fagles' bestselling translations of The Iliad and The Odyssey, and retaining the textual authenticity of Richmond Lattimore's Aeschylus, Bagg and Scully render Sophocles' dramas accessible and exciting for the modern reader. Students new to Athenian drama, readers of classical literature, and anyone wishing to kindle anew their passion for Greek tragedy will find no more captivating entrance to these milestones of world literature than in Bagg and Scully's The Complete Plays of Sophocles.
