Late Sophocles : The Hero's Evolution in Electra, Philoctetes, and Oedipus at…
Only a few plays by Sophocles—one of the great tragic playwrights from Classical Athens—have survived, and each of them dramatizes events from the rich store of myths that framed literature and art.

This volume examines f…
