A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

Sophocles (497- 496 BC), the son of Sophilus, was a wealthy member of the small community of Colonus Hippius in Attica. As with many famous men in classical antiquity, his death inspired a number of apocryphal stories. The most famous is the suggestion that he died from the strain of trying to recite a long sentence from his Antigone without pausing to take a breath. Another account suggests he choked while eating grapes at the Anthesteria festival in Athens. A third holds that he died of happiness after winning his final victory at the City Dionysia.

Présentation de l'éditeur

The Trachiniae (also known as "The Trachinian Women") is a tragedy by the ancient Greek playwright Sophocles. The title refers to the Chorus (onlookers and commentators on the action) rather than to the chief protagonists, who are the Greek hero Heracles and his jealous wife, Deianeira.
