Classical Greek drama is brought vividly to life in this series of new translations. Students are encouraged to engage with the text through detailed commentaries, including suggestions for discussion and analysis. In addition, numerous practical questions stimulate ideas on staging and encourage students to explore the play's dramatic qualities. Philoctetes is suitable for students of both Classical Civilisation and Drama. Useful features include full synopsis of the play, commentary alongside translation for easy reference and a comprehensive introduction to the Greek Theatre. Philoctetes is aimed primarily at A-level and undergraduate students in the UK, and college students in North America.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e Background to the Story\u003cbr\u003e Philoctetes: Translation and commentary\u003cbr\u003e Guide to Pronunciation of Names\u003cbr\u003e Synopsis of the Play\u003cbr\u003e Introduction to the Greek Theatre\u003cbr\u003e Index.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Plays, playscripts [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Plays, playscripts\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Plays,%20playscripts%20%5BDD%5D%22\"\u003eDD\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46000595435800,"sku":"9780521644808","price":14.65,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9780521644808i_8a76310d-73e7-4268-bac2-ab1c2dd94b6e.jpg?v=1691379466","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/sophocles-philoctetes-paperback-9780521644808","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
