Purchase options and add-ons

The Grene and Lattimore edition of the Greek tragedies has been among the most widely acclaimed and successful publications of the University of Chicago Press. On the occasion of the Centennial of the University of Chicago and its Press, we take pleasure in reissuing this complete work in a handsome four-volume slipcased edition as well as in redesigned versions of the familiar paperbacks.

For the Centennial Edition two of the original translations have been replaced. In the original publication David Grene translated only one of the three Theban plays, Oedipus the King. Now he has added his own translations of the remaining two, Oedipus at Colonus and Antigone, thus bringing a new unity of tone and style to this group. Grene has also revised his earlier translation of Prometheus Bound and rendered some of the former prose sections in verse. These new translations replace the originals included in the paperback volumes Sophocles I (which contains all three Theban plays), Aeschylus II, Greek Tragedies, Volume I, and Greek Tragedies, Volume III, all of which are now being published in second editions.

All other volumes contain the translations of the tragedies of Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides for the most part from the original versions first published in the 1940s and 1950s. These translations have been the choice of generations of teachers and students, selling in the past forty years over three million copies.

    I could not find this book for rent for my son's Greek Mythology class. Amazon had the best price for purchase and the book arrived as advertised.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Prometheus Bound - incredible
    Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2010
    This was worth it for me for Prometheus Bound alone. Every so often I read
    something that hits a nerve and opens up a new insight.
    It has joined my list of unforgettable stories. (It's a short list, probably because my memory is not so great.)
    I have never read any other translations but I can't see how it would be better.

    The other three stories i found were fairly good reads. Too bad so many stories by Aeschylus were lost to history. I wonder what we are missing.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Review of Grene and Lattimore's 'Aeschylus II'
    Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2009
    This volume carries many of the same virtues and pitfalls as the other Grene/Lattimore collections. For more information, please see my review of 'Aeschylus I.' To speak directly to this volume, I can guarantee that each play is produced in straightforward English. The entire collection is a pleasure to read.
