Elektra: A New Translation

Author: Robert Bagg Sophocles
Publisher: HarperPerennial
Category: Plays, Playscripts
Book Format: Paperback

Among the most celebrated plays of ancient Athens, Elektra is one of seven surviving dramas by the great Greek playwright, Sophocles, now available from Harper Perennial in a vivid and dynamic new translation by award-winning poet Robert Bagg. Elektra masterfully explores the consequences of revenge-both for those who bear the brunt of violence and for those who become obsessed by hatred under its influence-as it focuses on the cycle of bloodshed that consumes a royal family. This is Sophocles, vibrant and alive, for a new generation.
