Description

This is a fully revised new edition of Michael Ewans' 1995 English translation of the Oresteia, taking into account the extensive work published on the trilogy in recent years.

Accompanying this lucid, accurate, and actable translation is a substantial introduction, outlining the festival setting of the plays, the original performance conditions and performance style, the form and meaning of the trilogy, and finally the issues surrounding the act of translation. The text itself is a thoroughly competitive translation into modern English verse, now significantly revised in the light of recent scholarship on the text. It is followed by a theatrical commentary on each scene and chorus, providing unique insights into how the plays might have been staged in ancient Athens, and how they can be staged today. The book also includes notes on the translation, two glossaries of names and Greek terms, selected further reading, and a chronology of Aeschylus' life and times.

Aeschylus' Oresteia: Translation and Theatrical Commentary is the most comprehensive English edition of Aeschylus' masterpiece, and this new edition fully meets the needs of teachers, students, and practitioners working on the trilogy, as well as those interested in ancient Greek drama and literature more broadly.
