His translations clearly shows the traces of his wayward personality. He rarely shrank from poetic liberties, and he did not hesitate to provide a critical commentary on the works he translated . His love for classical authors manifested itself at an early age. Bilderdijk produced also numerous translations and 'imitations' of Greek and Latin poets, including Pindarus, Homer, Anacreon, Sophocles, Callimachus, Horace and Ovid. 'Edipus, koning van Thebe', a translation of Sophocles' 'Oedipus Rex' is his first translation of a classical author. It is followed in this binding by Bilderdijk's critical discussion of the translation, and by the next piece of Sophocles he translated, 'De dood van Edipus' (Oedipus Coloneus), published in 1789. Later in life he translated various edifying and theological studies, including the sermons of the Church Father Chrysostomus) (Collation: Ad 1: pi2, A-H8, I8 (leaf I3 plus leaf chi1), K6.
