Four Tragedies: Ajax, Women of Trachis, Electra, Philoctetes by Sophocles
5.0
A more modern translation, using blank verse, and feels like it lacks any link to the original Greek meter.
But flows well while reading it.
Use of modern language - like "What the hell!" and "Hey, look at me! Who do you think you're talking to?"
Good Intro, Explanatory Notes at the bottom of the text's pages, and Textual Notes at the back of the volume.
I tend to prefer these Hackett translations.
