Oedipus at Thebes: Sophocles' Tragic Hero and His Time by Bernard Knox
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
An excellent work of literary criticism, yet written in lucid prose with eminent logic. It illuminates the play, the myth, and fifth century Athens. It is worthy reading for the student and the teacher of Sophocles and Athens, and I have been both.
