This Norton Critical Edition includes:
Emily Wilson’s superb translation of Sophocles’ best-known play, accompanied by her engaging introduction, translator’s note and explanatory footnotes.
Comparative ancient sources that provide insight into the many different approaches to the Oedipus myth, inviting readers to see what is distinctive about Sophocles’ approach. These nine sources are followed by the final scene of Rita Dove’s modern verse tragedy, The Darker Face of the Earth, which follows closely the plot of Oedipus Tyrannos.
Critical essays by Froma I. Zeitlin, Edith Hall, Eric Dugdale, Kirk Ormand, Joshua D. Sosin, Martha C. Nussbaum, Michael Andrew Kicey and Teresa M. Danze, focusing on the play’s central themes.
A chronology of Sophocles’ life and work and suggestions for further reading.
