Sophocles: Ajax Tapa blanda - 2004

Richard Clavarhouse Jebb, Regius Professor of Greek and Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, was one of the foremost classicists of the Victorian era. His editions of Sophocles' plays appeared in the last fifteen years of the 19th century. They are distinguished by the sensitivity of Jebb's literary and dramatic interpretations, and the neat translation facing the Greek text. They have had a profound influence on subsequent Sophoclean scholarship. P.E. Easterling, editor of this series and author of the new Foreword to each volume, is Regius Professor of Greek in the University of Cambridge and Fellow of Newnham College. She is general editor of the Cambridge Greek and Latin Classics series. Peter Wilson is University Lecturer at Oxford and Classics Tutor at New College, Oxford. He has published The Athenian Institution of the Khoregia: The Chorus, the City and the Stage (2000) and articles on ancient actors, Euripides, the sociology and epigraphy of Greek theatre. He is currently translating four of Sohocles plays for the OUP World's Classics Series.
