3.0 out of 5 stars Flawed Collection, March 2, 2006
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
There's no reason why these plays need to be randomly strewn throughout three different volumes. For example, why would someone split up Sophocles' Oedipus Rex, Oedipus at Colonus, and Antigone? They should all be a part of the same volume. These paperback books themselves are of decent quality and fairly priced, but some of the translations and introductions are 50 years old! There are more complete and organized collections available, some by the same editors of these books.

5.0 out of 5 stars Antigone!, April 26, 2009
I really liked this book. Antigone in particular. Although, it doesnt make sense how the three books by Sophocles were separated and only two are here, still the translators are great and clear.

Lattimore does a good translation of several greek tragedies in this book. The book is great in terms of the stories that are presented, especially Oedipus the King. Read more
