Guide to Sophocles' 'Antigone' : A Student Edition with Commentary, Grammatical Notes & Vocabulary

Designed primarily to be used along­side a standard school text of theAntig­one,this first extensive commentary since the Jebb 1891 edition represents a new concept in text commentary. The work is built around seven selected passages specifically chosen to illustrate the poet's diction, the play's ironic structure, and the antagonists' charac­ter. Grammatical notes, a compre­hensive commentary on the literary, philosophical, and historical aspects of the play, and a vocabulary to all the Greek words that appear in the play are designed to acquaint the intermediate student of Greek with the peculiarities of tragic diction and vocabulary.O'Brien, Joan V. is the author of 'Guide to Sophocles' 'Antigone' : A Student Edition with Commentary, Grammatical Notes & Vocabulary', published 1978 under ISBN 9780809307791 and ISBN 0809307790.
