This volume offers the fruits of Peter Meineck and Paul Woodruff’s dynamic collaboration on the plays of Sophocles’ Theban cycle, presenting the translators’ Oedipus Tyrannus (2000) along with Woodruff’s Antigone (2001) and a muscular new Oedipus at Colonus by Meineck.

Each play features foot-of-the-page notes, stage directions, and line numbers to the Greek. Woodruff’s Introduction discusses the playwright, Athenian theatre and performance, the composition o

Aeschylus, the earliest of the great Attic tragedians, presented his Oresteia at Athens’ City Dionysia festival in 458 BCE. Born in the last quarter of the sixth century, Aeschylus had fought with the victorious Greeks in one and probably both of the Persian Wars (190 and 480-79). He died around 456 at about seventy years of age in Gela, Sicily. His epitaph records his role as a soldier at Marathon, not his artistic achievements, but these were many. The author of more than seventy plays, he won his first of thirteen tragic victories in 484. Of these plays, only seven remain. The Orestei
