In this edition, there are new translations by David Grene of Oedipus at Colonus and Antigone; they join his version of Oedipus the King to bring a new unity of tone to Sophocles' Theban plays. Grene has also revised his translation of Prometheus Bound, rendering in verse some of the former prose sections. The remaining plays are the original translations. There are introductions by Richmond Lattimore to playwright, and by David Grene to Sophocles' three Theban plays; brief critical commentaries precede other plays as well.
