Grčke tragedije: Okovani Prometej, Kralj Edip, Antigona, Medeja i Elektra
The edition of Greek tragedies translated by Koloman Rac brings five classic works of ancient literature – Prometheus Bound, Oedipus the King, Antigone, Medea and Electra – in a contemporary but faithful translation that preserves the poetic power of the
Prometheus Bound depicts a titan defying Zeus, sacrificing himself for humanity. Oedipus the King explores destiny through Oedipus' tragic downfall as he discovers that he killed his father and married his mother. Antigone confronts duty to family and state, as Antigone defies Creon for her brother's burial. Medea explores passion and revenge, with Medea killing the children of the traitor Jason. Electra depicts revenge for the murder of Agamemnon, with moral ambiguity. These stories of passion, destiny, and moral dilemmas remain universal, and Rac's work bridges the gap between the ancient world and the present.
