Less focused than the first, but narration still top notch
The performances are still rock solid in this one, but the story this time is a lot less focused than the previous. The main ‘macguffin’ of people fighting over Oedipus never really made sense to me in the first place, which sort of hurt the narrative drive. But this still had some great stuff, and I loved how it connected to other Greek myths. [AUDIBLE]
これもすごいパーフォマンスがあったけど話が前よりフォカス低かった

Best thing short of seeing an actual faithful stage performance
Incredibly well produced and well acted, the lines are performed exactly as I would have imagined reading them, a fantastic realization of a masterpiece of Greek Tragedy. Kudos to the actors, everyone who worked on the production, and the director for a delight of a listening experience that was as entertaining as it was enlightening to experience a play by Sophocles, even if it is only in auditory experience.

Excellent Performances
I expected to be somewhat bored while listening to these, and just wanted to get a sense of the content for research purposes — but the performances were truly powerful and engaging. I’d recommend this free series to anyone interested in Ancient Greek tragedy.

A classic, well performed
A truly classic play by one of the greatest playwrights of all times. It was a magnificent emotional experience.
