Oedipus the King * Aias * Philoctetes * Oedipus at ColonusSophocles stands as one of the greatest dramatists of all time, and one of the most influential on artists and thinkers over the centuries. In these four tragedies he portrays the extremes of human suffering and emotion, turning the heroic myths into supreme works of poetry and dramatic action. Oedipus the King follows Oedipus, the 'man of sorrow', who has unwittingly chosen to enact his prophesied course by murdering his father and marrying his mother. In Aias, the great warrior confronts the harrowing humiliation inflicted upon him, while Philoctetes sees a once-noble hero nursing his resentment after ten years of marooned isolation. In Oedipus at Colonus the blind Oedipus, who has wandered far and wide as a beggar, finally meets his mysterious death.
These original and distinctive verse translations convey the vitality of Sophocles' poetry and the vigour of the plays in performance. Each play is accompanied by an introduction and substantial notes on topographical and mythical references and interpretation.

Good buy
Color: A-Green Luminous
OK, This is a inexpensive watch. I bought this watch as an every day work watch not a dress watch. I have worn it for several months and this is what I have experienced. It is comfortable to wear. It is lite and compact. The strap is comfortable and durable. I have gotten it wet and it has not been effected. When I got it I synchronized it with an atomic clock, it has kept perfect time. I have read other reviews that stated it did not keep good time, this has not been my experience. The dial is easy to read even in low light. the fact that other buyers have had some issues leads me to believe the manufacture my have lacks quality control. Over all, for $20 I have found it to be a good value. I would have given it 5 stars; but battery life remains to be seen.

Perfect casual Friday shoe with great comfort and style
Size: 10, Color: Optic White/Egret
These have quickly become my go-to shoes for casual Fridays at work. The fit is true to size, and they’re both comfortable and stylish without trying too hard. They pair really well with jeans or khakis, so they’re easy to dress up or down depending on the day.
