Aias - A New Translation

AIAS, translated by award-winning poet James Scully, is one of Sophocles''s seven surviving works, and one of the most celebrated plays of ancient Athens. Still powerful and remarkably timely thousands of years after its creation, Aias is the moving story of a soldier returning home victorious from the Trojan War, only to discover he has lost his life''s purpose. This is Sophocles, vibrant and alive, for a new generation.
