Public ISBD Titre : Electra and other plays : Ajax, Electra, Women of Trachis, Philoctetes Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Sophocles, Auteur ; E. F. Watling, Traducteur Editeur : London [England] : Penguin Books Année de publication : 1953 Importance : 217 p. Présentation : ill.,couv.en coul Format : 18 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-14-044028-7 Langues : Anglais Catégories : LITTERATURE ET LANGUE ANGLAISE:429 Old english ; LITTERATURE ET LANGUE ANGLAISE:828 English literature Résumé : Sophocles' innovative plays transformed Greek myths into dramas with complex human characters, through which he explored profound moral issues. Electra portrays the grief of a young woman for her father Agamemnon, who has been killed by her mother's lover. Aeschylus and Euripides also dramatized this story, but the objectivity and humanity of Sophocles' version provide a new perspective. Depicting the fall of a great hero, Ajax examines the enigma of power and weakness combined in one being, while the Woman of Trachis portrays the tragic love and error of Heracles' deserted wife Deianeira, and Philoctetes deals with the conflict between physical force and moral strength. E. F. Watling's vivid translation is accompanied by an introduction in which he discusses Sophocles' use of a third actor to create new dramatic situations and compares the different treatments of the Electra myth by the three great tragic poets of classical Athens.

The Theban plays / Sophocles

Public ISBD Titre : The Theban plays : King Oedipus, Oedipus at Colonus, Antigone Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Sophocles, Auteur ; E. F. Watling, Auteur Editeur : London [England] : Penguin Books Année de publication : 1947 Collection : Penguin classics Importance : 168 p. Présentation : couv. ill. en coul. Format : 18 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-14-044003-4 Langues : Anglais Catégories : LITTERATURE ET LANGUE ANGLAISE:429 Old english ; LITTERATURE ET LANGUE ANGLAISE:828 English literature Résumé : The legends surrounding the royal house of Thebes inspired Sophocles (496-46 BC) to create a powerful trilogy about 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 ability. 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.
