Antigone defending her integrity and ideals to the death, Oedipus questing for his identity and achieving immortality - these heroic figures have moved theatergoers and readers wince the fifthe century B.C.
Towering over the rest of greek tragedy, these three plays are among the most enduring and timeless dramas ever written, Robert Fagles' translation conveys all of Sophocles'lucidity and power: the cut and thrust of his dialogue, his ironic edge, the surge and majesty of choruses and, above all, the agonies and triumphs of his characters.
