Paperback. Condition: Fair. Mutability; uncertainty; a universe of precipitous change: these themes are at the heart of Sophocles' tragic vision. But nowhere are they elaborated with more urgency than in Women of Trachis. There are no subtle shifts of Fortune's favors in this tragedy, only stunning and total reversals, a relentless spinning of her fickle wheel. Thesis moves to crushing antithesis with an unparalleled violence at the moment of transformation. Thought to have been written about 440 BC, midway through the poet's career, Women of Trachis has long suffered from neglect by scholars despite its sophistication and raw energy. This translation at last rescues the immense lyrical power and tragic grandeur of the play from obscurity, restoring the music of a poetry originally meant to be sung and danced collectively.…

A volume in the Greek Tragedy in New Translations series; William Arrowsmith, General Editor. *** From jacket notes: "In these volumes, the tragedies of Sophocles, Aeschylus, and Euripides are translated as never before by men and women who are themselves poets. Each poet-translator is also a classical scholar, or has collaborated with a well-known scholar. The resulting series re-creates the entire extant body of Greek tragedy as though it had been originally written by ancient masters wholly at home in the English language of our time. Each volume includes a full critical introduction; commentary on difficult passages; stage directions; and a glossary of the mythical names and geographical references encountered in the dialogue.".…
