Antigone by Sophocles

“Murnaghan has rendered Sophocles’ notoriously thorny verse into a text that pulsates with intimacy and immediacy without sacrificing power and nuance, creating a translation that will remain fresh for a very long time.  The accompanying material is so thoughtfully curated that the volume as a whole serves as a full introductory course to this extraordinary play and its outsized cultural impact.”—Ella Haselswerdt, University of California, Los Angeles
Sheila Murnaghan is the Alfred Reginald Allen Memorial Professor of Greek at the University of Pennsylvania. She is the author of Disguise and Recognition in the Odyssey and numerous articles on Greek epic and tragedy, gender in classical culture, and classical reception.
