Synopsis
Literary historians have long held the view that the plays of the Greek dramatist, Sophocles deal purely with archetypes of the heroic past and that any resemblance to contemporary events or individuals is purely coincidental. This book challenges this view.

From the Back Cover
"Michael Vickers has written an ingenious, original, and scholarly book on an important subject. It is an argument that students of period need to take into account. Vickers is doing truly seminal work."--Barry Strauss, Cornell University
"This book contains a very important finding, which is likely to inject an entirely new, hitherto by and large unsuspected, element into the study of Greek drama. Thoroughly original, this book constitutes an important landmark in the study of Greek tragedy."--Gabriel Herman, Hebrew University, Jerusalem
