Book Synopsis Sophocles and the Greek Tragic Tradition by : Simon Goldhill
Book excerpt: This book contains essays by international experts on Sophocles, asking why he matters, and why he is still read and performed today. His seven surviving tragedies are discussed from a variety of perspectives. A picture emerges of Sophocles' place at the foundations of the tragic tradition and in its perpetual refashioning and renewal.
