Based on the conviction that only translators who write poetry themselves can        properly recreate the celebrated and timeless tragedies of Aeschylus, Sophocles, and        Euripides, the Greek Tragedy in New Translations series offers new translations that        go beyond the literal meaning of the Greek in order to evoke the poetry of the        originals. Under the general editorship of Peter Burian and Alan Shapiro, each        volume includes a critical introduction, commentary on the text, full stage        directions, and a glossary of the mythical and geographical references in the        play.Although it has been at times overshadowed by his more famous Oedipus Tyrannus        and Antigone, Sophocles' Electra is remarkable for its extreme emotions and taut        drama.Electra recounts the murders of Clytemnestra and Aegisthus by Clytemnestra's        son Orestes, to avenge their murder of his father Agamemnon, commander of the Greeks        at Troy, upon his return home. Sophocles' version is presented from the viewpoint of        Electra, Orestes' sister, who laments her father, bears witness to her mother's        crime, and for years endures her mother's scorn. Despite her overwhelming passion        for just revenge, Electra admits that her own actions are shameful. When Orestes        arrives at last, her mood shifts from grief to joy, as Orestes carries out the        bloody vengeance.Sophocles presents this story as a savage though necessary act of        vengeance, vividly depicting Electra's grief, anger, and exultation. This        translation equals the original in ferocity of expression, and leaves intact the        inarticulate cries of suffering and joy that fill the play.
