Scholarly scribbles: Ten Greek Plays

antigone_1Not long ago, I bought a vintage copy of Ten Greek Plays In Contemporary Translations (Houghton Mifflin Company, 1957) from a secondhand store. The book features unique translations by L.R. Lind which differ significantly from the more traditional interpretations of these classics. In addition to extensive underlining and notes in the margins, there is also a curious doodle on the final page of “Antigone.”

Unfortunately, the artist did not provide any context or insight into what is being depicted and it’s the only doodle in the book.
