Comparative ancient sources that provide insight into the many different approaches to the Oedipus myth, inviting readers to see what is distinctive about Sophocles' approach.

Zeitlin, Edith Hall, Eric Dugdale, Kirk Ormand, Joshua D. Sosin, Martha C. Nussbaum, Michael Andrew Kicey, and Teresa M. Danze, focusing on the play's central themes.

"For the enjoyment and appreciation of Sophocles' most celebrated tragedy, one can do no better. Complemented by a curated selection of comparative sources and highlights of modern scholarly insights, this timely edition presents the Oedipus Tyrannos in context and gives us a poem that speaks powerfully to our time." --Bill Beck, Indiana University "The Norton Critical Edition of Sophocles' Oedipus Tyrannos offers an ideal introduction to the most famous and influential of all Greek tragedies. Emily Wilson's translation is fluid and compelling, and the surrounding materials present a wealth of information and insight suited both to new and more experienced readers." --Joshua Billings, Princeton University "Oedipus Tyrannos is the first Greek play many readers encounter, and this version is their ideal gateway. Emily Wilson's verse line is effortlessly graceful, whether in taut, tense dialogue exchanges or in the lyrical choral odes. The notes she supplies are a banquet on which both newcomers and scholars will feast, and her selection of comparative and critical texts makes a wonderfully rich dessert course." --James Romm, Rowan University
