Sophocles was the dominant Athenian playwright of the fifth century BCE. His best-known work, the three-play Oedipus cycle, traces three generations of a family ravaged by the inscrutably vindictive god Apollo, who manipulates his victims into committing unforgivable acts of incest, patricide, and kin murder. For a new generation entering the turbulent arena of ancient Greek drama, translators Robert Bagg and James Scully have produced a vivid, dynamic, and eminently readable translation in 'The Complete Plays of Sophocles'.
