Synopses & Reviews

Review:

"When a play has been translated as many times as the Antigone, a new version has to have some remarkable qualities in order to merit attention. Happily, Woodruff's Antigone has just that." James Robson, The Joint Association of Classical Teachers Review

Review:

?A lucid, well-paced translation." Joseph Russo, Haverford College

Review:

"Woodruff's introduction is a strong, clear, and clever blend of basic traditional information (to those who know Greek tragedy) and fresh insights." Karelisa Hartigan, The Classical Bulletin

It is the continuation of Oedipus Rex, but it is more than that, because the story centers on his two daughters and their conflict for women's rights, between law and religion and family values. It also has to do with respect for elders, respect for the law and customs, murder, love, authority, war and funeral rites. A Greek tragedy, greater in meaning and trascendence than Oedipus Rex, by a well known playwright.
