Inhaltsangabe

This is one of the seven plays of Sophocles in the full editions by R.C. Jebb, all of which will be reissued under the BCP imprint. They have occasionally been reprinted but never before in affordable paperback versions. In this set, each volume contains a foreword by P.E. Easterling, concerned with Jebb and his contribution to Sophoclean scholarship; there follows an introduction by a noted Sophoclean scholar dealing with Jebb's treatment of the individual play and its value for - and contrast with - subsequent interpretations, for which a select bibliography is included.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorinnen und Autoren

Sophocles (496-406 BC) was one of the three great tragic playwrights of ancient Greece; he wrote 123 plays during a career of 60 years and was still writing at the age of 90. Only seven tragedies survive, of which the most famous is Oedipus Rex.

Sir Richard C. Jebb, Regius Professor of Greek and Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, UK, was one of the foremost classicists of the Victorian era. His editions of Sophocles' had a profound influence on subsequent scholarship.
