Photo by Kenny Yoo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><em>David Mulroy, professor emeritus of classics at UWM, recently completed translating \u201c<\/em><em>Oedipus at Colonus,\u201d the third in Sophocles&#8217; trilogy of Greek tragedies. (The trilogy focuses on the king of Thebes and his unhappy family, and includes \u201cOedipus Rex,\u201d and \u201cAntigone.\u201d)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cOedipus at Colonus,\u201d published earlier this year as part of University of Wisconsin Press\u2019s Wisconsin Studies in Classics, has received critical praise for its combination of scrupulous scholarship and a fresh poetic style. Mulroy, who taught classics at UWM for nearly 40 years, has published six books of translations of Greek and Latin poetry as well as \u201cThe War Against Grammar,\u201d a popular history and defense of grammar. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>He is currently translating another trilogy of classic Greek plays \u2013 Aeschylus\u2019 \u201cOresteia,\u201d which includes\u201cAgamemnon,\u201d \u201cThe Libation Bearers,\u201d and \u201cThe Eumenides.\u201d He talks about his translation of Sophocles\u2019 trilogy from Greek to English and the value of the classics in modern society<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why did you translate these plays, which have been translated before?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I find the other\u00a0translations very hard to read. The original tragedies were combinations of speeches and songs. Most translators use free verse for all the parts of the tragedies. The result is that readers don&#8217;t know which passages were spoken by the actors and which were sung by them and\/or the chorus.\u00a0I translate the spoken portions of the plays in strict iambic pentameters and the musical passages into short rhyming stanzas. That makes the texts much more accessible to\u00a0modern readers, just like\u00a0they were for the original audiences. Reviewers tend to be hypercritical of rhyming poetry, but in my experience actual readers like it, so I\u2019m sticking to my guns in that area.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How long did it take you to translate all three plays?<\/strong><\/p>\n<div style=\"margin: 5px;padding: 5px;width: 240px;float: right;border-top: 1px solid #cca540;border-bottom: #cca540 1px solid\">\n<h5><em>\u201cThe issues that fascinate the students are different with each play. \u201d <\/em><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"float: right;font-size: 0.8em\"><em> \u2013 David Mulroy <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>They take approximately a year apiece. Once they\u2019re done they take another year to prepare for publication, with proofreading, designing the cover and all of that stuff.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What made you decide on this trilogy?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cOedipus Rex\u201d and \u201cAntigone\u201d are the best Greek tragedies in terms of entertainment, if nothing else, and they\u2019re the most frequently used in classrooms. \u201cOedipus at Colonus\u201d is less popular, and probably not as great as a drama. But it finishes off the story, and is deeply significant historically. It was Sophocles\u2019 last play and was written during a time of political turmoil that he had lot to say about.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How do you think these plays speak to modern readers, and to students?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The issues that fascinate the students are different with each play. With Oedipus there are the psychological issues \u2013 self-knowledge and willful ignorance. In the case of \u201cAntigone,\u201d it\u2019s altogether different. You have a fascinating character Antigone, the heroine, who is a very ambiguous character. You have to admire her idealism and courage, but they only result\u00a0in her own suicide\u00a0and that of her fiance and his mother.<\/p>\n<p>And in \u201cOedipus at Colonus,\u201d you have a hero facing old age and mortality. This raises the whole question of the meaning of life and the redemptive power of love in the face of suffering and tragedy. Each one of the plays is quite distinct.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What attracted you to the field of classics in the first place?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I think my mother, who died when I was relatively young. She had been a very enthusiastic student of the humanities at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, but she had to drop out of school because of the Depression. She left some books around the house. After she had passed away, I came across some of this material and was really fascinated, particularly by Plato\u2019s \u201cDialogues.\u201d I happened to go to a Catholic school where I learned Latin and when I went on to college, I had a choice between Ancient Greek and advanced mathematics, so that was the final nudge.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the value of the classics today?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Well, definitely Latin and Greek languages courses are great for the development of analytical skills. In \u201cThe War Against Grammar,\u201d I argued that the inability to analyze the meanings of complex statements\u00a0is a widespread problem in our schools and society at large. It\u2019s hard to think of disciplines that improve that ability more than Latin and Greek.<\/p>\n<p>The texts themselves are great literature and they have the value of all great literature in stirring thoughts and reflection. They win over students.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>David Mulroy, professor emeritus of classics at UWM, recently completed a translation of the Greek tragic trilogy known as the Theban plays, about Oedipus Rex and his family.
