A very good first edition example of this translation of Seneca's Oedipus by Ted Hughes, presented at the time of publication to his friends John & Annie [Moat], with a complex Oedipal verse in the poet's hand: '"Drain your cup to the dregs" was Oedipus' motto. And forced his Mammy & Daddy to drink till they fell flat out blotto - He left them behind Hen went on boozing till he was absolutely blind'.

First edition, softcover issue, inscribed presentation copy from the author; 8vo; publisher's photographic wrappers, a very good copy.
