The Way to Colonos

First published in 1961, The Way to Colonos recasts three seminal plays by Sophocles into tales of modern women and warfare, probing their characters with savage intimacy. Antigone a stylish woman in her thirties wheeling her father, Oedipus, onto the ferry to Colonos, is disgusted by his self-absorption, guilt, and evasions.

Publicata pentru prima data in 1961, ,,Drumul spre Colonos" transforma trei piese fundamentale ale lui Sofocle in povesti despre femei moderne si razboi, analizandu-le personajele cu o intimitate salbatica. Antigona, o femeie eleganta de treizeci de ani care isi cara tatal, Oedip, pe feribotul spre Colonos, este dezgustata de egocentrismul, vinovatia si evaziunile acestuia.
