Beschreibungen
<p>This book aims to offer a contemporary literary interpretation of the play, including a readable discussion of its underlying historical, religious, moral, social, and mythical issues. Also, it discusses the most recent interpretative scholarship on the play, the main intertextual affiliations with earlier Thebes-related tragedies, especially focusing on Sophocles’ <em>Antigone </em>and Oedipus <em>Tyrannus</em>, and the literature and performance reception of the play; it contains an up-to-date bibliography and detailed indices.<br> The book won the Academy of Athens Great Award for the Best Monograph in Classical Philology for 2008.</p>
