AUTHORS
Sophokles was born probably in 496 B.C.E. in the deme Colonus near Athens. Of all the ancient playwrights, he scored the most wins in dramatic competitions, and won the most important dramatic festival, the City Dionysia, an unmatched 18 times. Sophokles was a very prolific poet. The number of his plays is given as between 123 and 130, of which above 100 are known to us by their titles and by fragments. Only seven have been preserved complete: The Trachinice (so named from the chorus, and its treating of the death of Heracles), the Ajax, the Philoctetes, the Electra, the Oedipus Tyrannus, the Oedipus at Colonus, and the Antigone. The last-mentioned play was produced in the spring of 440 B.C.E.; the Philoctetes in 410 B.C.E.; the Oedipus at Colonus was not put on the stage until 401 B.C.E., after his death, by his grandson Sophokles. Besides tragedies, Sophokles composed paeans, elegies, epigrams, and a work in prose on the chorus.
Anne Carson is a scholar trained in the classics who has developed an independent voice as both a poet and an essayist. Carson’s work fuses classical topics with a unique and thoroughly modern style and sensibility. Her books, Glass, Irony, and God (1995) and Plainwater (2000), draw on literary materials ranging from the works of Emily Bronte and Gertrude Stein to medieval Japanese pilgrimage accounts and the poetry of ancient Greeks such as Mimnermus, Alcaeus, and Sappho. Men in the Off Hours (2001) is a collection of lyric essays and poems in which she collapses the ancient into the modern, bringing together such figures as Thucydides and Virginia Woolf in discussions of warfare. Carson is the author and translator of numerous other works of poetry and prose, including If Not, Winter: Fragments of Sappho (translator, 2002), The Mirror of Simple Souls (2003), and Answer Scars (2004).
