Sophocles was born in 496 BC. His long life spanned the rise and decline of the Athenian Empire. He wrote over a hundred plays, many of which are published as Penguin Classics, drawing on a wide and varied range of themes. E.F. Watling translated a range of Greek and Roman plays for Penguin, including the seven plays of Sophocles and the tragedies of Seneca.
‘O Light! May I never look on you again,
Revealed as I am, sinful in my begetting,
Sinful in marriage, sinful in shedding of blood!’
The legends surrounding the royal house of Thebes inspired Sophocles (496–406 BC) to create a powerful trilogy of mankind’s struggle against fate. King Oedipus tells of a man who brings pestilence to Thebes for crimes he does not realise he has committed, and then inflicts a brutal punishment upon himself. With profound insights into the human condition, it is a devastating portrayal of a ruler brought down by his own oath. Oedipus at Colonus provides a fitting conclusion to the life of the aged and blinded king, while Antigone depicts the fall of the next generation, through the conflict between a young woman ruled by her conscience and a king too confident in his own authority.
E. F. Watling’s masterful translation is accompanied by an introduction, which examines the central themes of the plays, the role of the Chorus, and the traditions and staging of Greek tragedy.

评分罗念生的版本吧? 因为考试的缘故从图书馆把完整版翻出来看。 不长,却发人深省。 “不要说一个凡人是幸福的,在他还没有跨过生命的界限,还没有得到痛苦的解脱之前。” 开始就是结果。这不是一句唬人的话。俄狄浦斯代表一种悲壮的精神,热衷于探索人生的谜底,最终走向了死...
评分 评分首先,對於“悲劇”的定義,不是在通常漢語語境中的“苦情戲”,而是指“通過莊嚴肅穆的輪專場展開劇情”的敘事藝術(詳見劉小楓《哲人王俄狄浦斯》),與戲劇戲謔狂歡的敘事方式相對,因此劉小楓認為定名為“肅劇”更恰當。劉小楓先生這是從悲劇的的表演形式來講,而從悲...
