Oedipus Tyrannos by Sophocles
A brilliant new edition and translation! Wilson gives us an eminently contemporary version of Sophocles’ play, whose tonalities have one ear pitched to the stateliness of the ancient Greek and another to a terse English vernacular. With an introduction that condenses a long tradition of commentary into a highly readable form and a set of critical essays that captures the timelessness of Sophocles’ play, Wilson gives us an Oedipus Tyrannos that will be not only superb for use in the classroom but stimulating for a wide audience looking to become more familiar with one of the world’s masterpieces.” —Michelle Zerba, Louisiana State University
"The Norton Critical Edition of Sophocles’ Oedipus Tyrannos offers an ideal introduction to the most famous and influential of all Greek tragediesEmily Wilson’s translation is fluid and compelling, and the surrounding materials present a wealth of information and insight suited both to new and more experienced readers." -- Joshua Billings, Princeton University
