A new translation of Sophocles' Electra by David Bolton. The translation combines prose and verse and aims to be an authentic rendering of the original Greek text and to maintain its spirit. The translation is accompanied by background notes concerning the feud in the Pelopid dynasty, Homer's account, the Delphic Oracle and the role of Orestes.

David Bolton was born and raised in San Francisco, California where ever since he can remember, his parents, siblings,teachers, and friends were constantly saying, "David, you're telling a story." So, after exploring the world and refining his craft, he returned home to tell some more stories.
