A clear, vigorous, spare, actable translation, and with it, excellent apparatus (Intro., notes, bibliography); all in a slim and affordable volume. I will use when I next teach "Oedipus. Hackett is an invaluable resource!--Rachel Hadas, Rutgers University
An excellent translation. . . . Paul Woodruff's Introduction, written for a general audience, is clear and well-informed.--Herman Van Looy, "L'Antiquite Classique"
I have enjoyed all of the recent Hackett editions of translations of Greek literature and "Oedipus Tyrannus is certainly no exception. Meineck and Woodruff got things just right, from employing "Tyrannus instead of "Rex in the title (as has become traditional, though it lends an erroneous sense to the play from the outset) to Woodruff s very fine and accessible Introduction to the suspenseful, poetic and powerful rendering of the play itself. Meineck s theatrical sensibility and knowledge are evident, yet the text never becomes too "stagey nor wanders far from the Greek. I will definitely use this text along with other terrific Hackett editions in my courses.--Lisa Rengs George, Arizona State University"
