Book excerpt: Meineck and Woodruff's new annotated translations of Sophocles' Ajax, Women of Trachis, Electra, and Philoctetes combine the same standards of accuracy, concision, clarity, and powerful speech that have so often made their Theban Plays a source of epiphany in the classroom and of understanding in the theatre. Woodruff's Introduction offers a brisk and stimulating discussion of central themes in Sophoclean drama, the life of the playwright, staging issues, and each of the four featured plays.
Download or read book The Other Four Plays of Sophocles written by Sophocles and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2013-12-15 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Famed translator David Slavitt lends his distinctly contemporary voice to four lesser-known plays of Sophocles. There are seven surviving tragedies by Sophocles. Three of them form the Theban Plays, which recount the story of Thebes during and after the reign of Oedipus. Here, David Slavitt translates the remaining tragedies—the "other four plays:" Ajax, Women of Trachis, Electra, and Philoctetes. Punchy and entertaining, Slavitt reads Athena's opening line in Ajax as: "I’ve got my eye on you, Odysseus. Always." By simplifying the Greek and making obscure designations more accessible—specifying the character Athena in place of “aegis-wearing goddess,” for example—his translations are highly performable. The Other Four Plays of Sophocles will help students discover underlying thematic connections across plays as well. Praise for David R. Slavitt "Slavitt's translation is . . . lively and sometimes witty."—Times Literary Supplement, reviewing Slavitt's translation of Seneca "The best version of Ovid's Metamorphoses available in English today . . . It is readable, alive, at times slangy, and actually catches Ovid's tone."—Philadelphia Inquirer, reviewing Slavitt's translation of The Metamorphoses of Ovid "Slavitt's ability is clearly in evidence . . . These translations are rendered in lucid, contemporary English, bringing before us the atrocities, horrors, and grotesqueries of Imperial Rome."—Classical Outlook, reviewing Slavitt's translation of Seneca "Excellent translations that suit the ear and strengthen the feeble spirit of the time . . . One will do well to read these hymns, these poems, and find nourishment in them in Slavitt's translations."—Anglican Theological Review, reviewing Slavitt’s translation of Hymns of Prudentius

Download or read book Sophocles II written by Sophocles and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2013-04-19 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sophocles II contains the plays “Ajax,” translated by John Moore; “The Women of Trachis,” translated by Michael Jameson; “Electra,” translated by David Grene; “Philoctetes,” translated by David Grene; and “The Trackers,” translated by Mark Griffith. 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. In this highly anticipated third edition, Mark Griffith and Glenn W. Most have carefully updated the translations to bring them even closer to the ancient Greek while retaining the vibrancy for which our English versions are famous. This edition also includes brand-new translations of Euripides’ Medea, The Children of Heracles, Andromache, and Iphigenia among the Taurians, fragments of lost plays by Aeschylus, and the surviving portion of Sophocles’s satyr-drama The Trackers. New introductions for each play offer essential information about its first production, plot, and reception in antiquity and beyond. In addition, each volume includes an introduction to the life and work of its tragedian, as well as notes addressing textual uncertainties and a glossary of names and places mentioned in the plays. In addition to the new content, the volumes have been reorganized both within and between volumes to reflect the most up-to-date scholarship on the order in which the plays were originally written. The result is a set of handsome paperbacks destined to introduce new generations of readers to these foundational works of Western drama, art, and life.
