Johann Jakob Christian Donner
His main work was a translation of the plays by Sophocles, which he published in 1838–1839 (8th edition, 1875). This translation formed the basis for Felix Mendelssohn's incidental music "Antigone" (1841). Donner was also responsible for providing translations of works by Euripides, Aeschylus, Pindar, Aristophanes, Terence, Plautus and Homer ("Iliad" and "Odyssey").
