Study Guide for Sophocles' Electra by Robin Mitchell-Boyask, Associate Professor of Classics, Temple University It is extremely difficult to read this play without thinking of the middle portion of Aeschylus' trilogy, and this is doubtless Sophocles' intention. Thus, try always to keep in mind general questions such as: Why Sophocles did decide to write a play on the same subject? What differences are there in plot and characterization from his predecessor's work? Are these differences significant? Do they affect the drama's meaning? If this play and Ajax were found with no title pages, what internal features might lead you to think they were by the same author? Specific topics: What is the role of the Pedagogue, especially considering no such character is in Aeschylus? What has Electra's life been like? Is she a sympathetic character? Track the Chorus' attittude through the action. What effect does making Electra more central to the action have on the play? If you have read Antigone, compare the relationship of the two sisters in each play. Pelops, Orestes' great-grandfather is mentioned in this play several times (e.g. 501), but not in Aeschylus. Why is his story significant? Look it up at the Perseus site.

Table of Contents Euripides' Medea Antigone Production The setting of the Antigone , as in the case of most Greek tragedies, does not require a change of scene. Throughout the play the skene with at least one door represents the facade of the royal palace of Thebes. Even when the poet shifts the audience's attention to events in the plain and the cave in which Antigone was entombed, there is no shift of scene. These events are reported by minor characters (here, a guard and a character specifically called a messenger) rather than enacted before the audience (245-277;1192-1243). Interior action is also reported by a messenger to characters on-stage for the benefit of the audience. The suicide of Eurydice, which takes place inside the palace, is reported to Creon (and to the audience) by a second messenger (1279-1318). The messenger speech eliminates the need for scene changes, which, due to the limited resources of the ancient theater, would have been difficult and awkward. Sophocles , like Aeschylus and Euripides , made a virtue of the necessity of this convention of the ancient theater by writing elaborate messenger speeches which provide a vivid word picture of the offstage action.

31. Oedipus Rex Synopsis of the play by sophocles. http://www.theatrehistory.com/ancient/oedipus001.html

OEDIPUS REX A synopsis of the play by Sophocles This document was originally published in Minute History of the Drama Date and circumstances of production are unknown. It is, however, known that Sophocles suffered defeat in the contests with this play, although it is generally regarded as his masterpiece. SOME twelve years before the action of the play begins, Oedipus has been made King of Thebes in gratitude for his freeing the people from the pestilence brought on them by the presence of the riddling Sphinx. Since Laius, the former king, had shortly before been killed, Oedipus has been further honored by the hand of Queen Jocasta. Now another deadly pestilence is raging and the people have come to ask Oedipus to rescue them as before. The King has anticipated their need, however. Creon, Jocasta's brother, returns at the very moment from Apollo's oracle with the announcement that all will be well if Laius' murderer be found and cast from the city. In an effort to discover the murderer, Oedipus sends for the blind seer, Tiresias. Under protest the prophet names Oedipus himself as the criminal. Oedipus, outraged at the accusation, denounces it as a plot of Creon to gain the throne. Jocasta appears just in time to avoid a battle between the two men. Seers, she assures Oedipus, are not infallible. In proof, she cites the old prophecy that her son should kill his father and have children by his mother. She prevented its fulfillment, she confesses, by abandoning their infant son in the mountains. As for Laius, he had been killed by robbers years later at the junction of three roads on the route to Delphi.

34. The Antigone Summary and analysis of the play by sophocles. http://www.theatrehistory.com/ancient/bates017.html

THE ANTIGONE A summary and analysis of the play by Sophocles This document was originally published in The Drama: Its History, Literature and Influence on Civilization, vol. 1 . ed. Alfred Bates. London: Historical Publishing Company, 1906. pp. 112-123. In the Antigone contempt of death enables a weak maiden to conquer a powerful ruler, who, proud of his wisdom, ventures in his unbounded insolence to pit his royal word against divine law and human sentiment, and learns all too late, by the destruction of his house, that Fate in due course brings fit punishment on outrage. The play takes up the story of the Seven Against Thebes , by Aeschylus , but with some changes in the situation. Two brothers, Eteocles and Polynices, have fallen, as will be remembered, at one of the gates of Thebes. King Creon allows Eteocles to be buried at once, that he might receive due honor among the shades; but he orders a herald to forbid any funeral rites or burial to the corpse of Polynices. "Let him lie unwept, unburied, a toothsome morsel for the birds of heaven, and whoso touches him shall perish by the cruel death of stoning." Antigone tells these gloomy tidings to her sister Ismene, and informs her of what she has resolved to do:

36. Oedipus The King Summary and analysis of the play by sophocles. http://www.imagi-nation.com/moonstruck/clsc1w1.htm

Oedipus the King A summary and analysis of the play by Sophocles There are none of the plays of Sophocles which exhibit more strikingly than the two which bear the name of Oedipus that solemn irony which the genius of a modern scholar has detected in the frame-work of this poet's tragedies. This irony consists in the contrast which the spectator, well acquainted with the legendary basis of the tragedy, is enabled to draw between the real state of the case and the conceptions supposed to be entertained by the person represented on the stage. It is this contrast, regarded from different points of view, which makes the two plays whose subject is Oedipus the counterparts of one another, and induces us to think that, whether they were or were not written, as is said, nearly at the same time, they were intended by the poet to form constituent parts of one picture. The Oedipus Tyrannus As with the Antigone Oedipus the King and Oedipus at Colonus belong to the legendary era of Thebes.

39. Electra Summary and analysis of the play by sophocles. http://www.theatrehistory.com/ancient/bates022.html

ELECTRA A summary and analysis of the play by Sophocles This document was originally published in The Drama: Its History, Literature and Influence on Civilization, vol. 1 . ed. Alfred Bates. London: Historical Publishing Company, 1906. pp. 135-142. The theme of the Electra , which, with the Ajax and Philoctetes , belongs to the Trojan legend, is the same as that of the Mourning Women of Aeschylus , but with a marked difference of treatment. Electra, and not Orestes, is the chief character, and for her Sophocles claims all our sympathies. The scene is laid in front of the palace; but there is no grave of Agamemnon, as in the Aeschylean tragedy. At daybreak enter, as if from foreign lands, Pylades, Orestes and his keeper, who gives him instructions as he introduces him to the city of his fathers. Orestes replies with a speech on the injunction of Apollo and the manner in which he means to execute it, then addresses a prayer to the gods and to his father's house. Electra is heard sobbing within; Orestes wishes to greet her immediately, but is led away to present an offering at the grave of his father. Electra comes out, and in a pathetic address to heaven pours forth her griefs, and in prayer to the infernal deities her unappeased longing for revenge. "The holy light and all-surrounding air, which ere this oft have heard my cries of woe, hear me only wailing for my hapless sire, whom his own wife and her paramour smote in foul and grievous death.

Enter e-mail address: Search GradeSaver dictionary thesaurus Hosted by pair Networks Biography of Sophocles (496-406 BC) The Greek playwright Sophocles was born in 496 BC at Colonus, near Athens. Unlike his younger contemporary, the often-misunderstood Euripides, Sophocles had the fortune of being revered for his genius during his own lifetime. He lived to the ripe old age of ninety, and his life coincided with the great golden age of the city-state of Athens. Sophocles came from a stable, well-to-do family, and from the beginning, it seemed that he was blessed in every way. Handsome, wealthy, and well-educated, Sophocles lived and died as one of Athens' most beloved citizens. In 468 BC, his debut dramatic production took first prize at the festival of Dionysis - no small feat for a beginner in his twenties, especially considering that among his competitors was the great Aeschylus. By 450 BC, Sophocles had written some two dozen plays. He was the most prolific of the three great Greek tragedians, writing 120 plays over the span of his remarkable career. Only seven complete plays survive. He received the prize at the Dionysia a total of twenty-four times‹more than Aeschylus or Euripides‹and in the years that he competed and did not win, he took second place. Since playwrights produced trilogies for the Dionysia, this impressive record means that seventy-two of Sophocles' plays were first-place winners.
