THE OEDIPUS CYCLE OF SOPHOCLES

An English Version

OEDIPUS REX: Dudley Fitts and Robert Fitzgerald

OEDIPUS AT COLONUS: Robert Fitzgerald

ANTIGONE: Dudley Fitts and Robert Fitzgerald

T HE MYTH of Oedipus, which reverberates to ont own day, provided Sophocles with material for three great tragedies-Oedipus Rex, Oedipus at Colonus, and Antigone, which together recount the downfall of Oedipus, King of Thebes, his death in exile, and the action carried out after his death by his daughter Antigone.

These new English versions of Sophocles' trilogy were composed specifically for a modern audience by two gifted poets and Hellenists. Their aim was to recapture the directness and simplicity as well as the concentrated richness of the poetry of Sophocles; they wished at the sanie time to make their verse renderings of the plays "elear and credible in Euglish and actable as well as readable. The critical acclaim with which these new ver- sions have been received both in the United States and in Great Britain indicates that Mr. Fitts and Mr. Fitz gerald have achieved their aim.

The plays originally appeared separately: Antigone and Oedipus Rex-on which Mr. Fitts and Mr. Fitz gerald collaborated-in 1939 and 19.49 respectively; Oedi pus at Colonus, by Mr. Fitzgerald, in 1941. Harvest Books now makes available for the first time in one volume these distinguished renderings of the entire Oedipus Cycle.
