Oedipus King PB

Among the most celebrated plays of ancient Athens, Oedipus the King is one of seven surviving dramas by the great Greek playwright, Sophocles, now available from Harper Perennial in a vivid and dynamic new translation by award-winning poet Robert Bagg. Praised by Aristotle as the pinnacle of Greek drama, Oedipus the King is the ancient world's most shocking and memorable tragedy; the story of Thebes's resilient hero and his royal family brought to hellish ruin by fate, manipulation of the Olympian gods, and all-too-human weakness. This is Sophocles, vibrant and alive, for a new generation.Author: SophoclesPublisher: Harper PerennialPublished: 08/07/2012Pages: 176Binding Type: PaperbackWeight: 0.35lbsSize: 7.90h x 5.30w x 0.60dISBN: 9780062132086Accelerated Reader:Reading Level: 5.6Point Value: 2Interest Level: Upper GradeQuiz #/Name: 43295 / Oedipus the KingThis title is not returnable
