Book Description Trade Paperback. Condition: New. In Very Good Condition. Name In Ink Inside Front Cover. Some Underling Throughout. May Have Minor Shelf Wear To Edges. For More Information On Condition. Please See All Photos. The Myth Of Oedipus, Which Reverberates To Our Own Day, Provided Sophocles With Material For Three Great Tragedies?Oedipus Rex, Oedipus At Colonus, And Antigone, Which Together Recount The Downfall Of Oedipus, King Of Thebes, His Death In Exile, And The Action Carried Out After His Death By His Daughter Antigone. These English Versions Of Sophocles' Trilogy Were Composed Specifically For A Modern Audience By Two Gifted Poets And Hellenists. Their Aim Was To Recapture The Directness And Simplicity As Well As The Concentrated Richness Of The Poetry Of Sophcles; They Wished At The Same Time To Make Their Verse Renderings Of The Plays "Clear And Credible In English" And Actable As Well As Readable. The Critical Acclaim With Which These Versions Have Been Received Both In The United States And In Great Britain Indicates That Mr. Fitts And Mr. Fitzgerald Have Achieved Their Aim.
