Two plays that illustrate a constant of Greek drama -- the reexamination of familiar themes to detect contemporary meanings. Translated and edited by Peter D Arnott, this edition contains both Oedipus at Colonus and Electra for performance and study and includes an introduction that details differences in focus among Sophocles' and Euripides' Electra plays, and the Libation Bearers of Aeschylus. Also included are a list of principal dates in the life of Sophocles and a selected bibliography.
