Description:

"Woodruff’s work with Peter Meineck makes this text one that is
accessible to today’s students and could be staged for modern audiences.
Line notes printed at the bottom of the page bring a reader further
quick assistance. . . .       “The choral odes as rendered here
deserve special notice. After giving a succinct analysis of each in his
introduction, Woodruff translates the lyrics into English that is both
poetic and comprehensible. . . . Woodruff’s rendering of the dialogue
moves along easily; these are lines that any contemporary Antigone,
Creon or Haemon might speak. Antigone’s words on the gods’ unwritten
laws keep close to the Greek and yet would be authentic for a modern
speaker. . . .      "Woodruff’s introduction is a strong, clear, and
clever blend of basic traditional information (to those who know Greek
tragedy) and fresh insights. . . .      "Should our drama department
ask for my advice as to a playable text, I would certainly suggest
Woodruff’s new version."      —Karelisa Hartigan, The Classical Bulletin
