Meineck and Woodruffs new annotated translations of Sophocles Ajax; Women of Trachis; Electra; and Philoctetes combine the same standards of accuracy; concision; clarity; and powerful speech that have so often made their Theban Plays a source of epiphany in the classroom and of understanding in the theatre. Woodruffs Introduction offers a brisk and stimulating discussion of central themes in Sophoclean drama; the life of the playwright; staging issues; and each of the four featured plays.
