I have, and *love*, Grene and Lattimore's Greek Tragedies volumes I (http://www.amazon.com/Greek-Tragedies-1/dp/0226307905/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1205990327&sr=1-1)-III.
These are the translations my parents used in college and they are still unparalleled.

They have a Sophocles volume (http://www.amazon.com/Sophocles-Oedipus-Antigone-Complete-Tragedies/dp/0226307921/ref=pd_bbs_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1205990327&sr=1-2) (I think, but am not sure, that this is part of a reorganization of the original 3 volume series).
