In this episode of Christianity and Classical Culture, we continue a discussion of Sophocles that started with Oedipus Rex. We continue by discussing both Oedipus at Colonus and Antigone in depth. Dr. Fleming knows these plays very well and it is a real treat to listen to his discussion of the various threads within these plays and the interpretation of them both in their time and in ours.

Notes
Recommended translations: 1) the Loeb Greek/English edition by Sir Hugh Lloyd-Jones, a thoughtful and intelligent wrestling with the Greek text, and 2) Dudley Fitts and Robert Fitzgerald, for their beautiful and powerful verse-rendering--eminently readable and actable.
