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 sense of poetry evident in the originals. Under the editorship of Peter Burian and Alan Shaprio, each volume includes a critical introduction, commentary on difficult passages, ample stage directions, and a glossary of the mythical names and geographical references encountered in the dialogue. Sophocles' Oedipus the King paves the way as the first in the series to appear in paperback. In this highly-acclaimed translation of the greatest of all Greek tragedies, Stephen Berg--the well-known poet--and Diskin Clay--the distinguished classicist--combine their talents to offer the contemporary reader a dazzling version of Sophocles' timeless work. Emphasizing the intensity of the spoken language, they capture the unrelenting power of Sophoclean drama. No other English translation conveys the same terrifying emotional level, especially in the choral odes, the forceful descriptions of Jokasta's death, the blinding of Oedipus, and the final scene of desolation. Berg and Clay's translation--now available for the first time in paperback--both adheres strictly to the original meaning of the play and breathes new life into its language.Binding Type: Paperback

Bedsure has impressed me again.
Size: King (104" x 90"), Color: Linen (No Comforter), Size: King (104" x 90"), Color: Linen (No Comforter)
Giving this a five star because it’s the millionth Bedsure bedding I have bought for my home. I absolutely love this company for its affordability and the quality of their products. I recently purchased the Mellow temp control duvet and needed a good quality cover. I immediately went to bedside and found this baby. It’s 100% organic cotton, you can verify it with the cards that are included and the color is perfect! I ordered the King size in the color Linen for my queen size bed because I like my comforters to hang off the sides. Out of the package, the cover was soft and has zero smell. I did wash it as instructed on a cold wash with both detergent and softener then dried on a no heat tumble for about 50 mins x I wouldn’t say this is wrinkle resistance right out of the dryer but the minimal wrinkles do not bother me as I’m sure it will smoothen out overtime. The quality of this feels soooo good, I can not wait to jump into bed later. Nothing makes me happier than a comfy cool bed and cool room at nights. I love that this has a zipper instead of buttons or ties. It gives the bedding a more cohesive look. My husband is not easily impressed with bedding the way I am and his comment was “this is so soft”. As you can see in the photo, my cat immediately took up residence on the bed as soon as I made it up.

Organic, Soft and Luxurious
Size: Queen (90" x 90"), Color: Linen (No Comforter)
This 100% organic cotton duvet cover is luxurious! It is GOTS certified, Oeko Tex Standard 100 certified, and even comes with its own birth certificate! The birth certificate shares the duvet’s name, place of birth, official badges and health status, personality, and fun facts! What’s not to love? If you want a duvet that is organic, soft and luxurious, I highly recommend this one. Bedsure even included 2 pillow cases.
