En savoir plus sur le livre
The dominant Athenian playwright in 5th-century-BCE Athens, Sophocles left us seven powerful dramas that still shock as they render the violence that erupts within divinity & humankind. <i>Oedipus the King</i>, <i>Oedipus at Kolonos</i> & <i>Antigone</i> trace three generations of a family manipulated by the inscrutably vindictive god Apollo to commit patricide, incest & kin murder. <i>Elektra</i> & <i>Women of Trakhis</i> begin as studies of women obsessed with hatred & desire but become dissenting critiques of the Greeks’ enthusiasm for revenge & ego-crazed heroics. Two hard-hitting dramas set in war zones, <i>Aias</i> & <i>Philoktetes</i>, use conflicts among Greek warriors at Troy to thrash out political & ethical crises confronting Athenian society itself.
