Guide to Sophocles' Antigone by Joan V O'brien
Designed primarily to be used alongside a standard school text of the Antigone, this first extensive commentary since the Jebb 1891 edition represents a new concept in text commentary. The work is built around seven selected passages specifically chosen to illustrate the poet's diction, the play's ironic structure, and the antagonists' character. Grammatical notes, a comprehensive commentary on the literary, philosophical, and historical aspects of the play, and a vocabulary to all the Greek words that appear in the play are designed to acquaint the intermediate student of Greek with the peculiarities of tragic diction and vocabulary.
Joan V. O’Brien is Associate Professor of Classical Studies at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale.
