Three Theban Plays, The ebook download Robert (Translator) Sophocles / Fagles

The Three Theban Plays

Antigone defending her integrity and ideals to the death, Oedipus questing for his identity and achieving immortality?these heroic figures have moved playgoers and readers since the fifth century BC. Towering over the rest of Greek tragedy, these three plays are among the most enduring and timeless dramas ever written. Robert Fagles' translation conveys all of Sophocles' lucidity and power: the cut and thrust of his dialogue, his ironic edge, the surge and majesty of his choruses and, above all, the agonies and triumphs of his characters.
