"For centuries the myth of Oedipus, the man who unwittingly killed his father and
married his mother, has exerted a powerful hold on the human imagination; but no retelling
of that myth has ever come close, in passion, drama, and menace to the one that we
find in Sophocles' Oedipus the King. This new full-scale edition of that classic play
- the first in any language since 1883 - offers a freshly constituted text based on
consultation of manuscripts ancient and mediaeval. The Introduction explores the play's
dating and production, its creative engagement with pre-Sophoclean versions, its major
themes, and its reception during antiquity. The Commentary offers a detailed analysis,
line by line and scene by scene, of the play's language, staging, and dramatic impact.
The translation incorporated into the commentary ensures that the book will be accessible
to all readers interested in what is arguably the greatest Greek tragedy of all" ;
"Oedipus the King is a central work of western literature, a play for which the term
'canonical' might have been invented; yet there has been no new critical edition of
the play with introduction and detailed commentary (editio maior) in any language
since 1883"
