7 Plays of Sophocles Book

Although there were many Greek playwrights of the Golden Age of Greek Drama, only the work of four playwrights has survived in the form of complete plays.

While only 7 plays remain each for Aeschylus and Sophocles, these were considered their greatest works.

The collection was in alphabetical order, so all of the surviving plays of Euripides begin with the letters E-K.

The translations of the works of these ancient Chinese sages by Lionel Giles and Herbert Giles are very highly regarded and considered by many to be the definitive English translations.
