US$ 9.95 (+ tax)
Meineck and Woodruff's new annotated translations of Sophocles' Ajax, Women of Trachis, Electra, and Philoctetes combine the same standards of accuracy, concision, clarity, and powerful speech that have so often made their Theban Plays a source of epiphany in the classroom and of understanding in the theatre. Woodruff's Introduction offers a brisk and stimulating discussion of central themes in Sophoclean drama, the life of the playwright, staging issues, and each of the four featured plays.

Peter Meineck is Artistic Director of the Aquila Theatre Company and Clinical Assistant Professor of Classics and Ancient Studies, New York University.

Paul Woodruff is Professor of Philosophy and Classics, University of Texas at Austin.
