Other Versions of this Book: Hardcover
Book Description:
"These authoritative translations consign all other complete collections to the wastebasket."--Robert Brustein, The New Republic
"This is it. No qualifications. Go out and buy it everybody."--Kenneth Rexroth, The Nation
"The translations deliberately avoid the highly wrought and affectedly poetic; their idiom is contemporary....They have life and speed and suppleness of phrase."--Times Education Supplement
"These translations belong to our time. A keen poetic sensibility repeatedly quickens them; and without this inner fire the most academically flawless rendering is dead."--Warren D. Anderson, American Oxonian
"The critical commentaries and the versions themselves...are fresh, unpretentious, above all, functional."--Commonweal
"Grene is one of the great translators."--Conor Cruise O'Brien, London Sunday Times
"Richmond Lattimore is that rara avis in our age, the classical scholar who is at the same time an accomplished poet."--Dudley Fitts, New York Times Book Review

Nicole W. (Greek Tragedies: Oedipus the King, Oedipus at Colonus, and Antigone. Antigone was amazing, but the other two I did not enjoy as much. I'm not a fan of greek plays, though.
