Oedipus the King: A New Translation – The Greek Tragedy

Oedipus the King: A New Translation – The Greek Tragedy Praised by Aristotle as Drama's Pinnacle

Among the most celebrated plays of ancient Athens, Oedipus the King is one of seven surviving dramas by the great Greek playwright, Sophocles, now available from Harper Perennial in a vivid and dynamic new translation by award-winning poet Robert Bagg. Praised by Aristotle as the pinnacle of Greek drama, Oedipus the King is the ancient worldâ‚¬s most shocking and memorable tragedy; the story of Thebesâ‚¬s resilient hero and his royal family brought to hellish ruin by fate, manipulation of the Olympian gods, and all-too-human weakness. This is Sophocles, vibrant and alive, for a new generation.
