Complete Greek Tragedies Sophocles HC Book 1960 Vol 2 University Chicago Press

Description: Here is a beautiful edition of a work of classic drama! This is the The Complete Greek Tragedies of Sophocles, printed by University of Chicago Press. This book is part of a series; it is number 2 of 4. (The other volumes are Euripides, Euripides, and Aeschylus.) It is a hardcover book that was not made with a dustcover. It was printed by University of Chicago Press in 1960. It was edited by David Grene and Richmond Lattimore, and is 460 pages long. The book measures 9 inches by 6.25 inches, and is 1.5 inches thick. All of the surviving works of Sophocles are included in this volume! Here is the table of contents: Oedipus the KingOedipus at ColonusAntigoneAjaxThe Women of TrachisElectraPhiloctetes Each drama is preceded by a short scholarly analysis by the translator, with a general introduction to the Theban plays by David Grene. There are several translators in this volume: David Grene, Robert Fitzgerald, Elizabeth Wyckoff, John Moore, and Michael Jameson. Condition:This book is in excellent used condition with very minor flaws. The corners are slightly bumped, although overall they are still looking pretty good! Please see the closeup photo of the corners. The back cover is completely free of blemishes, and the front cover has only the tiny black vertical mark that I have shown in the photos. The color of the hardcover is a uniform bright tan. It is not faded in the least. The spine is in excellent condition and shows no wear. It is smooth and uncreased. The interior pages have no damage; there are no rips, folds, or discolorations, no writing or highlighter marks. The pages have yellowed slightly with age, but the color is uniform. The book is not musty or moldy. I detect just a hint of "old book scent" as I like to call it, like the scent of being in a library or bookstore. But I definitely know what a musty book smells like, and that is not the case for this book. :) Shipping:I will ship this book in a sturdy box with lots of protection to make sure it arrives in excellent condition. I never ship books in flimsy mailing envelopes. I can generally ship within 24 hours, either the same business day or the next day. Shipping is via US Postal Service Medial Mail, and you will receive a tracking number. If you would like to see more photos or need more information about this item, feel free to send me a message! I also have volume 4 in this series, Euripides, up for sale. If you purchase both volumes, I will be glad to combine shipping costs to save you money. Thanks for viewing my auctions! :)
