About the Translators:
C. K. Williams, a poet, has previously published Iam the Bitter Name Gregory Dickerson is Associate Professor of Greek at Bryn Mawr College.
Based on the conviction that only translators who write poetry themselves can properly recreate the celebrated and timeless tragedies of Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides, the Greek Tragedy in New Translations series offers new translations that go beyond the literal meaning of the Greek in order to evoke the poetry of the originals.
