Oedipus The King by Sophocles

Oedipus The King by Sophocles

In this highly-acclaimed translation of the most famous of all Greek tragedies, Stephen Berg – a well-known poet – and Diskin Clay – a distinguished classicist – combine their talents to produce a powerful version of Sophocles' timeless work. The volume also contains a critical introduction, commentary on difficult passages, stage directions, and glossaries of myythical and geographical terms.

'The editors have selected translators who know Greek but who are poets themselvesThe result ... is excellent' Tony Butler, Irish Press
'An excellent translation which more than most succeeds in capturing the poetry and the intensity of the original and so presents a realistic rendering of a classic...the modern rader hoping to glimpse the nature of Greek tragedy will do no better than read this translation.' Library Review

Stephen Berg is a founder and co-editor of the American Poetry Review and the author of several volumes of poetry, including The Daughters, Grief, Akmatova at the Black Gates, and In It.
