Antigone

(Greek Tragedy in New Translations series). Echoing through Western culture for more than two millenia, Sophocles' Antigone has been a touchstone of thinking about human conflictand human tragedy, the role of the divine in human life, and the degree to which men and women are the creators of their own destinies. The invigorating Gibbons-Segal translation, with its rich annotations, conveys both the difficulties and the formidable immediacy of this inexhaustibly actual play. With Introduction, Notes on the Text, and Glossary, Suggestions for Further Reading. 197p.
