GREEK TRAGEDIES, VOLUME 1
AESCHYLUS: AGAMEMNON, PROMETHEUS BOUND/SOPHOCLES: OEDIPUS THE KING, ANTIGONE/EURIPIDES: HIPPOLYTUS
RICHMOND LATTIMORE / MARK GRIFFITH / DAVID GRENE
Greek Tragedies, Volume I contains Aeschyluss Agamemnon, translated by Richmond Lattimore; Aeschyluss Prometheus Bound, translated by David Grene; Sophocless Oedipus the King, translated by David Grene; Sophocless Antigone, translated by Elizabeth Wyckoff; and Euripidess Hippolytus, translated by David Grene.
Sixty years ago, the University of Chicago Press undertook a momentous project: a new translation of the Greek tragedies that would be the ultimate resource for teachers, students, and readers. They succeeded. Under the expert management of eminent classicists David Grene and Richmond Lattimore, those translations combined accuracy, poetic immediacy, and clarity of presentation to render the surviving masterpieces of Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides in an English so lively and compelling that they remain the standard translations. Today, Chicago is taking pains to ensure that our Greek tragedies remain the leading English-language versions throughout the twenty-first century.
