What translations/editions of Sophocles, Euripides, and Aeschylus should I get? I would prefer a single volume of all the plays of a playwright.
I currently have a subscription to Loeb Classical Library but their translations, as academic and accurate, are usually bland.
Anyone?

No translation is that much better than the other. For Euripides, I used a Dover edition called ten plays. I think my Aeschylus was just a penguins classic. Hope this helps.
If you're REALLY needing a definite answer, just find out which editions a university near you uses.

I don't know about Euripides, sorry anon,
For Sopocles and Aeschylus ... the Robert Fagles translation of The Oresteia is excellent if very pretty, but the Christopher Collard one is also good, just more 'scholarly' if that makes sense.
For Sophocles, Edith Hall or the one in the Everyman Library. Can't remember who did it off the top of my head.
