Book Description

This 1999 book is a wide-ranging study of the language of Sophocles. From a detailed analysis of sentence-structure it moves on to discuss how language shapes the perception of characters, of myths, of gods and of choruses. All chapters are concerned to investigate how Sophoclean language engages readers and spectators.
