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.

评分一位素未蒙面的朋友昨晚来和我讨论《俄狄浦斯王的》的相关问题,她很客气地说是“请教”,但我也绝谈不上是“指导”,不过是互相的交流罢了。 这位朋友主要提到两个观点“无知即有罪”和“恶性中的无辜”,以及对于俄狄浦斯王最终刺瞎双眼之后的那部分故事的讨论...
评分我在读《俄狄浦斯王》,《俄狄浦斯在克洛诺斯》,《安提戈涅》这部三联剧的时候,一次又一次的感慨索福克勒斯或者说是希腊人的智慧。《俄狄浦斯》这系列的作品,连同后人对他的不同侧面的阐释,构成了一个精深而庞大的世界。今天我要和大家分享的是我站在很多很多巨人的肩膀上...

评分Antigone并没有想象中的那么完美,到最后摧枯拉朽的还是无人相信的the blind prophet。如果说Antigone与Haemon是在个人程度上对存在进行诠释,目盲的先知则是对盲目的皇权的挑战。
