Review
�A lucid, well-paced translation, natural enough sounding in the dialogue to make a good acting version, and
remarkably successful in making the choruses clear, lyrical, and yet part of the dramatic movement. Woodruff�s
rendering of the choruses especially impresses me by the way he manages to render complex syntax and imagery of
the original� often tangled and occasionally obscure in its allusiveness�into clear and genuinely poetic English.�
