false 41674 7 ‘Sophocles, in a play that won only second prize, created a masterpiece that in the eyes of posterity has overshadowed every other achievement in the field of ancient drama. In it he played on certain latent terrors that are part of man’s nature in all kinds of societies and at all epochs; terrors whose influence may pervade our lives in ways we scarcely guess …’ These words come from the Introduction to Dr Dawe’s edition of Oedipus Rex. In an attempt to analyse why this play ‘Has exercised such a powerful and long-lasting fascination on the human mind’ Dr Dawe devotes his Introduction to an examination of the content of the story and to the technique displayed by Sophocles in the unfolding of the plot. The commentary deals authoritatively with problems of language and expression. This is an edition for classical scholars, undergraduates, and students in the upper forms of schools. The Introduction requires no knowledge of Greek and may be read by anyone interested in Greek literature and drama. 41215 1960 Oedipus Rex and Antigone total:151|5:35|4:53|3:49|2:11|1:3| 151 559 190 8 0 0 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Thu Feb 19 12:11:27 -0800 2009 Thu Feb 19 12:13:37 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Sun Apr 20 21:11:05 -0700 2008 Sun Apr 20 21:13:06 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Fri May 16 20:34:20 -0700 2008 Fri May 16 20:47:49 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Wed Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1992 Tue Jan 08 22:09:50 -0800 2008 Tue Jan 08 22:09:50 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Fri Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1993 Sat Jul 12 08:21:20 -0700 2008 Sat Jul 12 08:21:58 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Sat Mar 29 12:05:45 -0700 2008 Sat Mar 29 12:06:25 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Thu Nov 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sun Jan 20 21:26:35 -0800 2008 Sun Jan 20 21:27:47 -0800 2008 2 0 false false Fri Sep 26 06:18:22 -0700 2008 Fri Sep 26 06:18:40 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Fri Nov 27 20:35:44 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 26 10:06:49 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 26 10:06:53 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Fri Nov 13 17:18:22 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 13 17:18:22 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Fri Nov 06 21:55:55 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 06 21:55:55 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Mon Oct 26 01:57:53 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 26 01:57:53 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Oct 22 04:19:50 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 22 04:19:50 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Mon Oct 12 13:24:02 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 12 13:24:02 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sun Oct 11 07:55:24 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 11 07:55:24 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Fri Nov 20 13:07:42 -0800 2009 Mon Oct 05 20:18:23 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 05 20:18:31 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Oct 05 11:16:45 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 05 11:16:45 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Thu Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 04 17:04:01 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 04 17:04:01 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sat Oct 03 14:13:53 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 03 14:13:53 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Sun Sep 20 16:19:51 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 20 16:19:51 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=41674
