Sophocles' great masterpiece, Oedipus the King, is here translated into highly-polished English verse alongside an introduction and notes to the translation which seek to make his achievements in both plot and language accessible to students at graduate, undergraduate, and secondary school level.

First performed in 416/15, Euripides' Troades, or Trojan Women, is the third of his trilogy dealing with the Trojan War. This volume presents a newly edited text with a detailed Introduction and a commentary that explores its historical context, problems of constituting and interpreting the Greek text, and the play's visual dimension.
