Sophocles (497/496 BC-406/405 BC), (Greek: Σοφοκλής; German: Sophokles, Russian: Софокл, French: Sophocle) was an ancient Greek tragedian, known as one of three from whom at least one play has survived in full. His first plays were written later than, or contemporary with, those of Aeschylus; and earlier than, or contemporary with, those of Euripides. Sophocles wrote over 120 plays, but only seven have survived in a complete form: Ajax, Antigone, Women of Trachis, Oedipus Rex, Electra, Philoctetes, and Oedipus at Colonus. For almost fifty years, Sophocles was the most celebrated playwright in the dramatic competitions of the city-state of Athens which took place during the religious festivals of the Lenaea and the Dionysia. He competed in thirty competitions, won twenty-four, and was never judged lower than second place. Aeschylus won thirteen competitions, and was sometimes defeated by Sophocles; Euripides won four.
The most famous tragedies of Sophocles feature Oedipus and Antigone: they are generally known as the Theban plays, though each was part of a different tetralogy (the other members of which are now lost). Sophocles influenced the development of drama, most importantly by adding a third actor (attributed to Sophocles by Aristotle; to Aeschylus by Themistius), thereby reducing the importance of the chorus in the presentation of the plot. He also developed his characters to a greater extent than earlier playwrights.

Ma che colpa aveva Edipo?
Che famiglia disgraziata!
Colpevoli e innocenti al tempo stesso.
Gli dei, anzi i greci, si divertivano assai a infilarsi in questi tunnel senza via d'uscita, evidentemente trovavano rassicurante pensare che non ci si potesse sottrarre a un destino micidiale, e già segnato.

What a brutal, awful world it was for the pagans. They believed in gods who, for no reason at all, sentenced men to arbitrary acts of inhumanity--even so designed as to be done unknowingly, yet with terrifying consequences.
The story of Oedipus and his family is simply awful. It makes for an interesting story, but the fact that the Greeks believed the world was so ordered that such things occurred demonstrates their own spiritual blindness and willful ignorance of the order of grace and justice ordained by the one true God. Thanks be to God for giving his grace and forgiveness to the world that we might be reconciled to Him through his Son, Jesus Christ, and redeemed from the machinations of the devil.

این کتاب رو با دوستای مجازیم تو یکماه زمان بین دو فیزیوبات طی میتینگهای شبانه با هم اجرا کردیم و خونددیم و واقعا تجربهی شیرینی بود برام.
این روزها که بواسطهی اون و کتابرانه درگیر اسطوره خوانی هستم نوع برخورد و نگرش من نسبت به شخصییتها و گفتهها و باورهاشون عوض شده قببلا شاید این کتاب رو سرسری و داستانوار میخوندم و میگفتم بهبه چه داستان جالبی هر چند تو همین شبانهخوانیهام هم همین کار رو کردم ولی خوانش دومی که به آهستگی داره با کتابذانه بیش میره باعث میشه بیشتر بهش فکر کنم و درش تامل کنم و به نظرم بعد اتمام اون خوانش هم باید ازش حرف بزنم

به سختی به این کتاب میتوان 5 نداد. درواقع کتاب بین 4 و 5 حرکت میکند. فرازهای زیادی از کتاب و مقدمه و موخره درخشانش قطعا 5 است اما همین حرکت میان 4 و 5 و به شکل مطلق در اوج نماندن باعث میشود که در مجموع به کتاب 4 ستاره بدهم.
مقدمه شاهرخ مسکوب و به خصوص موخره آندره بونار حقیقتا درخشان بودند. خواندن تراژدی ها قبل و بعد از خواندن مقاله ی بونار تفاوت های جدی ای باهم دارند. "خواندن" نیروهای متضاد هستی و درون وجود انسان از لا به لای سطور نمایشنامه های سوفوکلس شاید تا حدی توضیح دهنده کاری باشد که بونار میکند.
جاهایی از مقاله بونار برای من حتی به شکل نیایشی در می آمد که وجودم را لبریز میکرد..!

I really bought this for Antigone, but I read all three. For some reason I find Greek tragedy so much easier to read than Shakespeare. And when Greeks go tragic they hold nothing back

این چه کاریست نمیدانم. باید اول هر ریویویی نوشت که این را برای کدام ترجمهی کتاب مینویسید. هفت هشت سال پای کتابی از تراژدیهای باستانی ترجمهی شاهرخ مسکوب به نام «افسانههای تبای» من هیچکارهی عالم این سه جمله را نوشتهام: «کتاب را در تنهایی بدی خواندم وقتی هیچ نور امیدی نبود. در تلخی و ملال تنهایی این تراژدیها زیباترند. ارسطو میگوید شفقت و ترس از ملزومات تراژدیست. من ترسم ریخته بود ان روزها و شده بودم شفقت و شفقت» الان یکهو چشمم میخورد به کتابی از نشر علمی فرهنگی با ترجمهی مترجمی که اصلاً نشنیدم و طرح جلدی که اصلاً به چشم ندیدهام و زیرش این ریویو بنده که حال آدم را بد میکند یکلحظه حس کردم یا فراموشی گرفتهام یا دروغگو بودهام.
