内容简介Filled with passionate speeches and sensitive probing of moral and philosophical issues, this powerful drama reveals the grim fate that befalls the children of Oedipus. When Antigone, the daughter of Oedipus, chooses to obey the law of the gods rather than an unconscionable command from Creon, ruler of Thebes, she is condemned to death. How the gods take their revenge on Creon provides the gripping denouement to this compelling tragedy, still one of the most frequently performed of classical Greek dramas. Footnotes.

Review
"An exceptionally compelling translation that captures the feel of the original. The introduction and the end material add several useful dimensions. Highly recommended!"--George Perreault, Gonzaga University
"Braun's translation is as steely as the Greek and his introduction cuts through to the heart of the play."--J.P. Sullivan, University of California, Santa Barbara
Praise for the series:
"While every reader may have a favorite translation that does this or that differently, these are finely modulated to seem neither foolishly colloquial nor irritatingly archaic. The great delight of this series, for me, are the first-rate brief introductions, the practical and wise notes, the enormously useful classical glossary. This series is likely to be a standard for years to come."--Kliatt Young Adult Paperback Guide
"The transaltion is very readable....Notes are very helpful."--Brad Wright, Cornell University
"The translation, introduction, notes, appendix, and glossary should attract the intelligent reader. The translation itself is accurate and of high quality."--Patricia P. Watsen, University of South Carolina--This text refers to thePaperbackedition.
