Of the seven plays, two of them have a happy ending. All are bathed in tragedy, but in two, the struggling protagonists get what they wanted, but as it is common of tragedies, not what they deserved.

A Must Read for everybody.

Phenomenal and legendary.

One of the most current, readable translations in print today. Having read the original Greek and multiple translations, these renditions are like hearing Sophocles' voice with babel fish running around in there somewhere!

Degelijke vertaling, maar ook duidelijk uit de jaren tachtig: strak aangehouden woordvolgorde, ritme en plechtige taal. Interessante annotaties en goede inleidingen.
De schoonheid van de stukken zelf staan buiten discussie uiteraard: de Griekse tragedie is tijdloos.
