Wraps are browned. Light chipping to 2 corners of wraps. ; Cambridge Greek and Latin Classics; 282 pages; 'Sophocles, in a play that won only second prize, created a masterpiece that in the eyes of posterity has overshadowed every other achievement in the field of ancient drama. In it he played on certain latent terrors that are part of man's nature in all kinds of societies and at all epochs; terrors whose influence may pervade our lives in ways we scarcely guess ...' These words come from the introduction to Dr Dawe's edition of Oedipus Rex. In an attempt to analyse why this play '...has exercised such a powerful and long-lasting fascination on the human mind' Dr Dawe devotes his introduction to an examination of the content of the story and to the technique displayed by Sophocles in the unfolding of the plot. The commentary deals authoritatively with problems of language and expression. This is an edition for classical scholars, undergraduates, and students in the upper forms of schools. The Introduction requires no knowledge of Greek and may be read by anyone interested in Greek literature and drama.

Scholar's bookplate to inner cover (G. P. Goold). Minor shelfwear to book. Light foxing to textblock. DJ spine a little sunned. Light edgewear. ; Reinhardt's work on Sophocles, first published in 1933, has long been recognized as fundamental. After a brief introduction, a chapter is devoted to each of the surviving plays, the action and significance of which are discussed scene by scene. From this analysis emerges a magisterial account of the development of Sophocles' dramatic technique, as shown both in the structure of individual scenes and of the play as a whole. The development of his treatment of character from the earlier 'enclosed" type to the freely interacting and interrelating figures of the late plays is also brought out. Reinhardt discusses the relation of the inner world of Sophocles' heroes, to the world in which they live and to the "daimonic" world of the gods, and the way in which Sophocles' language and style evolve in response to all these developments. The fragments are considered briefly in the final chapter. ; 279 pages

Spine a little creased. 1 corner lightly creased. Light pencil marginalia to a few pages. Scholars' bookplate to inner cover. ; 0.94 x 8.82 x 5.91 Inches; 358 pages; In this interpretation of the seven extant tragedies of Sophocles, Professor Winnington-Ingram provides not so much a straightforward account of Sophocles as an exploration of his tragic vision of the world. The Sophoclean hero lies at the centre of this vision. Taking the plays individually but without losing sight of the single consistent mind behind them, the author faces the questions of how the hero is to be regarded, what we are to make of the fates he suffered and the divine powers who controlled those fates. He proceeds by a detailed study of what Sophocles wrote, by close attention to form and recurrent themes, and especially by close analysis of a number of choral odes. Students of Greek drama will find that this detailed study provides invaluable insights into the meaning of the tragedies. Greek in the text is translated or paraphrased, so that the book will also be of interest to students of the literature and drama of other cultures.
