GOOD: There is minimal sign of use and wear. There is tanning due to age, but otherwise, the paperback is in good condition. The pages are free of marks.
Product Details
From the back cover: "The greatest of the Greek tragedians, Sophocles wrote over 120 plays, surpassing his older contemproary Aeschylus and the younger Euripides not only in the number of plays he wrote but also in the number of prizes awarded his works. Only the seven works in this volume have survived intact. From the complex drama of Antigone, the heroine willing to sacrifice life and love for a principle, to the mythic doom embodied by Oedipus, the uncommonly good man brought down by the gods, Sophacles possessed a tragic vision that, in Matthew Arnold's phrase, saw life steadily and saw it whole.
"This, the only one-volume paperback edition of Sophocles' complete works, is a revised and modernized version of the famous Jebb translation, which Professor Hadas has called 'the most carefully wrought prose version of Sophocles in English.'"
