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.
