An Adventure That Narrates the Obstacles Overcame by One of the Most Successful Couples: Sophocles Odyssey

Although they are one of the most successful couples in the world today, billionaires Mark Zuckerberg and Profa M had to face many adversities to achieve their goals. This is narrated in his book “Sophocles’ Odyssey: The Love Story of Zuck and Professor M.” “The Devil and His Cartel” created a suffocating universe where control and crime are absolute. Concepts similar to George Orwell’s 1984, such as the “Chaos Police,” “Doublethink,” and “Destructive Neohumanism” (a philosophy of life designed to impoverish the soul and mind), are brilliant tools that reflect the real dangers of Stalinism and fascism. The protagonists, Zuck and Professor M, were not action heroes, but intellectuals who sometimes had doubts and flaws. This makes them profoundly human and allows the reader to connect with their despair and their great inner rebellion, supported by their most loyal allies. You can buy this book on our website.

America by Sophocles. How will it be rebuilt on the ruins of Trump?

Two New York shows reimagine Antigone and suggest the path along which one will have to start again. Not understanding who was to blame, but uniting to stand back up.

"Wisdom outweighs any wealth." ~ #Sophocles

Sophocles' "Antigone" is perhaps my favorite Ancient Hellenic tragedy.

I very much love the cover illustration by Indrapramit Roy to this edition. I may need to pick up a copy as it is also illustrated in side in a style meant to evoke actual Hellenic styles of the classic period and a bit earlier even.

I need to see if there are any good performances of the play on the Tube of You.

I spent a a good part of my formal (and informal) edumacation immersed in my studies of antiquity from both a history and a literary viewpoint. (Ἡ ἐμὴ ἀρχαία Ἑλληνικὴ γλῶττα παντάπασιν κακίστη ἐστίν.)

Sophocles' "Antigone" is one of my all-time favorite tragedies.

This Ian Crowe illustrated cover to what I understand is a recent translation is quite striking and horrific.

I wonder where the hell my plays in translation are? Hmmm. Must find them all.

In Sicily, Sophocles takes the stage,
With tragedy that sets hearts in a rage,
Oedipus, fate's cruel hand,
Electra's grief, no reprimand,
A double shot of drama, Shakespeare would engage

Oedipus at Colonus/Electra review – a double shot of Sophocles in Sicily

Two searing new productions, performed in a hallowed space by intense ensembles, bring strikingly fresh energy to the ancient dramas

“It is a painful thing to look at your trouble and know that you and no one else made it.”
#Sophocles, probably while debugging his code
The play that changed my life: Sing Sing’s Clarence Maclin on lessons from Sophocles in prison

Staging Shakespeare and Twelve Angry Men with fellow prisoners was a revelation but Oedipus Rex proved particularly poignant
