About This Item
Harper & Row. Good+. 1966. Softcover. Bottom of spine has tear (3 cm) and chipping to spine. Writing in ink to table of contents (page numbers). Text is clean. ; Harper Torchbooks; 157 pages; Is Sophocles the poet "more important" than Sophocles the moralist, Sophocles the student of character, or Sophocles the storyteller? In this work, classicist Richmond Lattimore examines the complex and varied ways in which Greek poetry contributes to Greek drama. While acknowledging the difficulty of separating poetry - especially in translation - from other aspects of language, Lattimore offers insight into plays by Aeschylus ("The Suppliant Maidens", "The Persians", "The Seven against Thebes", "Prometheus Bound") , Sophocles ("Ajax", "Oedipus Tyrannus") and Euripedes ("Medea", "Helen", "The Bacchae"). .
