Ajax. Electra. Oedipus Tyrannus by Sophocles
Sophocles (497/6406 BC), considered one of the worlds greatest poets, forged tragedy from the heroic excess of myth and legend. Seven complete plays are extant, including Oedipus Tyrannus, Ajax, Antigone, and Philoctetes. Among many fragments that also survive is a substantial portion of the satyr play The Searchers.-

Sir Hugh is providing, that is, what Nabokov, in rendering Eugene Onegin, called a metaphrase—a scrupulous, bare explanation of the original… Plainspun prose indeed, but attractively diaphanousWe can be pretty sure that these were the exact lexical intentions of Sophocles… Reading the seven Sophocles plays in the new Loeb version only confirms his impenetrable greatness. -- Donald Lyons * New Criterion *
Sir Hugh Lloyd-Jones (1922–2009) was Regius Professor of Greek at Oxford University.
