In this new edition, Mark Griffith combines sophisticated literary and cultural interpretation with close attention to language, metre, and issues of performance, and thus makes the play more fully available to readers of Greek than ever before. The introduction requires no knowledge of Greek and will interest all students of drama and literature. Review: Probably the most comprehensive and engaging commentary on Antigone you will find - An excellent commentary. I read it twice - missing out the sections on versification, which I shall return to at a later date. It begins with an excellent introduction of 68 pages, covering many aspects, including the meaning of the play, its structure and its style and the transmission of the text itself. There follows the Greek text with comments at the end of the book. These comments are extremely comprehensive and explain most of the difficulties a student is likely to encounter. Difficult passages are translated into English. It covers grammar as well as uncertainties over which is the most likely version of a particular piece of text. I have not yet got round to the study of metre and versification but for those who have this commentary is extremely comprehensive. I myself will return to these pages when I study it. I had previously read Oedipus Rex in this Cambridge series and found the commentary abstruse and unhelpful for understanding much of the text. This came as a welcome contrast. A work of great scholarship which will be useful for any student of Greek who wishes to understand this work. Review: Warning - for Greek scholars only - Reviews like mine are for buyers, not literary critics. It’s is a book produced to the highest standards, as you would expect from this publisher. But it is an ancient Greek text of the play, albeit with top notch commentary in English. Buy an English version and cross-reference the notes, and you have something very useful. ## Features - New - Mint Condition - Dispatch same day for order received before 12 noon - Guaranteed packaging - No quibbles returns ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 331,057 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 671 in Classical, Early & Medieval Poetry 3,239 in Drama (Books) 5,328 in Words, Language & Grammar (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 39 Reviews | ## Images ![Sophocles: Antigone (Cambridge Greek and Latin Classics) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51gcKsXtLWL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Probably the most comprehensive and engaging commentary on Antigone you will find *by S***S on 26 August 2020* An excellent commentary.
