An updated stand-alone edition of Sophocles's Oedipus the King taken from Chicago's renowned translations of the Greek tragedies.

Over the years, David Grene and Richmond Lattimore's Complete Greek Tragedies have been the preferred translations of millions of readers—for personal libraries, individual study, and classroom use. Drawn from the authoritative third edition of the University of Chicago Press's classic series, this updated stand-alone edition of Grene's Oedipus the King renders the original Greek in clear, vivid, and poetic English for a new generation to savor.

Mark Griffith and Glenn W. Most's introduction to Sophocles's searing tale of jealousy, rage, and revenge provides essential information about the play's first production, plot, and reception in antiquity and beyond.
