The Oedipus Cycle by Sophocles
5.0
Just a fan-freakin-tastic translation. I can't tell you how accurate it is, but it jumps off the page and slaps you just as it should. I gave Antigone an "out loud" read through with a few kids yesterday and was once again bowled over. Very excited to dig my teeth into the first two plays of the cycle again and will update when I do.
Updated:
Oedipus is likewise lively and as cringe-inducing as ever, but this reading proved to me how much I prefer Antigone. The former is plenty powerful, but the scenario is absurd enough to make empathy difficult. No such worries in the latter
