Sophocles: The Complete Plays
Here are the full texts of the seven extant plays of the Greek playwright Sophocles (c. 496-406 B.C.E.), regarded by the Greeks of his time as a kind of “tragic Homer,” and honored by the Athenians with sacrifices long after his death.

This collection includes the revised and updated translations by Paul Roche of the Oedipus cycle--Oedipus the King, Oedipus at Colonus, and Antigone--as well as all-new translations of Ajax, The Women of Trachis, Electra, and Philocetes. Acknowledgments
