Goldwin Smith translates the great scenes from nine tragedies of Aeschylus and Sophocles, linking them with brief summaries so each play can be followed whole. The selection runs from Prometheus Bound, The Persians and the Oresteia to Oedipus the King, Oedipus at Colonus, Antigone and Ajax, with a preface on the origins of Greek drama.
A compact way into the two elder tragedians, rendered in readable Victorian blank verse. Download the free EPUB.
