desertcart.com: Sophocles : Antigone (Focus Classical Library): 9780941051255: Sophocles, Ruby Blondell: Books Review: Good source, understandable translation - I had to read Antigone for a college class and this was the recommended translation for us to use. I tried looking up other versions/translation online, but this one was definitely the best I’ve read. It explains the context and different interpretations of the text very well- which made the story much easier to read and understand. I also appreciated the inclusion of the essays in the back of this book- I found them to be a good source to use when I had to write my papers about Antigone. Whether you need to read Antigone for school or just want to read it for fun, this is a solid book to use. Review: Interesting book - Quick delivery. Purchased for a class but ended up being a nice read and a book to get you thinking but read with an open mind

High quality
I needed it for a class and it was perfect! The story itself is a bit weird but I highly recommend if you want a good read on a better life

Best available
Superior translation—nothing else available even comes close. Blondell's intro and notes are also quite good.

Needed this book for a literature course. The story is amazing, but that's not what you're here for. The book was in pristine quality as expected.
