    Antigone is a masterpiece! This collection is a great way to experience Sophocles. The introduction provided valuable context. Highly recommend.

  3. Vaastvikta Malik –

    The themes are powerful and timeless, but I struggled with the language at times. Still, a must-read for anyone interested in Greek tragedy.

  4. Himanshu Kumar –

    Oedipus Rex is a gripping story, but the other two plays didn’t resonate with me as much. Good collection, but uneven quality.

    This collection of Sophocles’ plays showcases the author’s talent. It’s a must-read for anyone interested in Greek tragedy.

    Classic literature at its finest. This collection provides a comprehensive look at Sophocles’ Theban plays. A bit challenging at times.

  9. Sumit Rakesh Mhatre –

    While the stories are compelling, I found the pacing slow at times. Still worth reading for the historical significance and cultural impact.

    A powerful exploration of human nature. Be prepared for intense emotions! The introduction was very informative. Highly recommend

  11. Prashant –

    Fate, free will, suffering – it’s all here. A bit heavy, but thought-provoking. The translation was easy to understand.

  12. Ritik Joshi –

    Sophocles’ plays are classics for a reason. The L’Engle translation felt a bit dated, but Smart’s addition was refreshing. Overall, a good collection.

  13. Parjeet Singh –

    The book offers timeless themes that are worth contemplating. However, reading it can sometimes feel arduous.
