In Latin and Greek.Complete in three volumes.A collection of the tragedies of Sophocles.The most famous tragedies of Sophocles feature Oedipus and Antigone: they are generally known as the Theban plays, although each play was actually a part of a different tetralogy, the other members of which are now lost.
