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1983年罗念生先生所译的《索福克勒斯比句二种》,到今日书页已经微微发黄了,封面也是后来重新包上的,翻动的时候还有清脆的小声响。 俄狄浦斯的这个故事最早是由初中的好朋友告诉我的。我还记得我们到了一个陌生的走廊上,昏黄吊灯隐约照着乌尘的墙,身后是铁门,我们...

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。
