Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1944, this book examines how Sophocles' inventive use of the ancient Greek language and style justifies his place as, arguably, the greatest Athenian tragedian. Earp analyses in great detail Sophocles' use of Greek words by listing those words used in the plays that appear nowhere else in the canon of ancient literature, as well as linguistic overlap between Sophocles and other ancient authors, and his use of idiom and metre. This thoroughly-researched book will be of value to anyone with an interest in Sophoclean tragedy and textual criticism.

Download or read book Sophocles and the Greek Language written by Albert Rijksbaron and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2017-07-31 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume offers an extensive overview of the various ways in which Sophocles’ use of the Greek language is currently being studied. Greatly admired in antiquity, Sophocles’ style only became a serious subject of investigation with Campbell’s Introductory essay On the language of Sophocles (1879). Fourteen chapters, divided into three sections (diction, syntax, pragmatics), discuss the linguistic register and use of gnomai in Ajax’ deception speech, Homeric intertextuality, the style of the Sophoclean satyr-plays in relation to tragedy and comedy, the relation between the repetition of words and focalization, the language of blindness, the image of ‘fire’, the use of deictic pronouns, the semantics of the middle-passive and of counterfactuals, the historic present and the constitution of the text, the suggestive power of descriptions, speech-acts, and strategies of politeness.

Download or read book Introductions and Translations to the Plays of Sophocles and Euripides written by Harry Love and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2013-02-20 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The two volumes of essays and translations of the tragedies of Sophocles and Euripides are the accumulation of some twelve years’ of producing ancient plays for contemporary audiences and actors. The play-texts themselves, therefore, are intended to be accessible and speakable, in the first instance, and to convey as much of the flavour of the original Greek as any translation is able. They are there to be used. The style, though personal to a degree, is an attempt to maintain the tone and the poetry of tragedy, without dropping into the mock-archaic or turning the texts into self-conscious homilies on contemporary ‘issues.’ The introductory essays are occasional pieces written with production in mind. Two general themes have emerged: firstly, a development of ideas about the nature of the dramatic genre (and dramatic writing) and stage rhetoric – how is irony achieved? What kinds of irony are there? How do we understand emotional experience in a theatre? Secondly, the significance of emotions and the concept of tragedy in the Greek context; Sophocles and Euripides share, as one might expect, a milieu and some rigid theatrical conventions, but within this context they reveal significant differences in terms of dramatic style and audience orientation. The translations and essays are not presented in the order that they were written. Volume I follows the narrative order of Sophocles’ ‘Theban Trilogy’, and Volume II the chronological order of Euripides’ composition. The plays were all produced in Dunedin, New Zealand, in the following order: Oedipus the King 1994 (and 2003); Hippolytus 1995; Bacchae 1997; Antigone 1998; Oedipus at Colonus 2000; Medea 2002; Hecuba 2006.

Download or read book When Heroes Sing written by Sarah Nooter and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2012-05-31 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the lyrical voice of Sophocles' heroes and argues that their identities are grounded in poetic identity and power. It begins by looking at how voice can be distinguished in Greek tragedy and by exploring ways that the language of tragedy was influenced by other kinds of poetry in late fifth-century Athens. In subsequent chapters, Professor Nooter undertakes close readings of Sophocles' plays to show how the voice of each hero is inflected by song and other markers of lyric poetry. She then argues that the heroes' lyrical voices set them apart from their communities and lend them the authority and abilities of poets. Close analysis of the Greek texts is supplemented by translations and discussions of poetic features more generally, such as apostrophe and address. This study offers new insight into the ways that Sophoclean tragedy inherits and refracts the traditions of other poetic genres.

Download or read book The Plays of Sophocles written by Sophocles and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-02 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sophocles, born in 497 BCE and who lived until the age of 90, is regarded as one of the great ancient Greek tragedy writers, along with Aeschylus and Euripides. Of the more than 100 plays written by Sophocles, only seven have survived intact. This collection, The Plays of Sophocles presents the complete works of Sophocles' seven surviving plays: Ajax, Antigone, The Women of Trachis, Oedipus the King, Electra, Philocetets, and Oedipus at Colonus. Translated here by Thomas Francklin, this collection provides the rare opportunity to read the works that form the legacy of Sophocles. The Theban plays are perhaps Sophocles most well known works: Antigone, Oedipus the King, and Oedipus at Colonus. These tell the story of tragic hero Oedipus, a man who kills his own father and marries his own mother, without being aware of the familial ties. All three are classics of Greek tragedy and must-reads for any fan of the classics. The other works in this collection are similarly tragic and represent clearly the style of Sophocles. Challenging and moving, his work still resonates to this day. Francklin's translation makes a valiant effort at capturing the lyricism and poetic nature of Sophocles' originals. Whether you deem this to be an excellent translation or not may simply be a matter of personal preferences, however it is certainly technically sound. The Plays of Sophocles is a collection of some of the most important and well known Greek tragedies that exist. Sophocles' work will doubtlessly impact the modern reader, whether you are familiar with his writings or a first time reader. This collection is thus highly recommended for anybody remotely interested in classic tragedy or the work of Sophocles specifically.
