"Bagg and Scully's renderings strike me as the most performable
versions of Sophocles I've ever encountered...if you're looking for the
translation that best reflects the emotional force and expressive range
of the original plays, you would be hard pressed to do better." --
Philadelphia Inquirer
Award-winning poet-playwrights Robert Bagg and James Scully present a
gripping new translation of Western literature's earliest treasures in
The Complete Plays of Sophocles. In the tradition of Robert Fagles'
bestselling translations of The Iliad and The Odyssey, and retaining
the textual authenticity of Richmond Lattimore's Aeschylus, Bagg and
Scully render Sophocles' dramas accessible and exciting for the modern
reader. Students new to Athenian drama, readers of classical literature,
and anyone wishing to kindle anew their passion for Greek tragedy will
find no more captivating entrance to these milestones of world
literature than in Bagg and Scully's The Complete Plays of Sophocles.
