Omschrijving
Sophocles’ Antigone is among the greatest of all works of Greek literature, and is often the play read first by those beginning to study Greek tragedy. This edition offers the text with facing translation and commentary, and an introduction including an account of the myth, a survey of the main interpretative issues, and a bibliography.
Andrew Brown has edited Sophocles’ Antigone (1987) and Aeschylus’ Libation Bearers (2018) for the Aris & Phillips Classical Texts series, and is the author of A New Companion to Greek Tragedy (Croom Helm, 1983; reprinted in Routledge Revivals, 2014) and a number of articles on Greek tragedy in classical journals.
