All That You've Seen Here Is God: New Versions of Four Greek Tragedies Sophocles' Ajax, Philoctetes, Women of Trachis; Aeschylus' Prometheus Bound by Aeschylus, Sophocles

3.0

3.5 stars - these translations would be great for teaching, and I loved the intros to each of the 4 plays and how they show the subject matter is still so relevant thousands of years later. However, I think I miss some of the more poetic language that I’d find in older translations. I appreciate the clarity, but they read a little like ‘No Fear Shakespeare.’ I think if I was considering staging any of these plays, I’d go for a different translation, but still a decent read.
