This is NOT the Slavitt translation! I haven't read this one but, having read Lattimore's translations of the Oresteia I would guess they were quite good.             The Oresteia Neeland Media LLC, 2004 This is an electronic edition of the complete book complemented by author biography.

I think, though, that to really appreciate what Aeschylus accomplished (aided and abetted by Fagles), most modern readers should really read the entire trilogy twice. When these plays were first performed, the entire audience would have known the story of Agamemnon's fate and Orestes' revenge from the Odyssey, and probably from ...             Classical Tragedy - Greek and Roman: Eight Plays in Authoriative Modern Translations1 review Aeschylus, Euripides, ... Applause Books, 2000 Classical are these classics. Robert Corrigan has put together an amazing collection of classical plays. The translations are modern without losing the savvy and content of their original. This edition is sparse in stage directions which is the way it should remain. It was a real predilection for the modern translations to bear psychological truths and encript Stanislavskian drives to explain every character motivation. ...             The Oresteia (Greek Tragedy in New Translations)1 review Aeschylus Oxford University Press, USA, 2004 Readable and Persuasive This translation of Aeschylus' "Oresteia" kept me reading from beginning to end. I found Alan Shapiro's rendition of "Agamemnon" with its opaque vocabulary and imagery compelling, especially the hypnotic rhythms and repetitions of the long parodos and the second choral ode. He also has captured the incantatory vocabulary and imagery of Clytemnestra's "estin thalassa" speech: "There is a sea--who ...             Five Great Greek Tragedies (Thrift Edition)1 review Sophocles, Euripides, ... Dover Publications, 2004 fast and speedy this year i decided to order my books from on line and save, oh i don't know, about 200.00 dollars, i needed this specific book, saw that it was readily available and affordable...so tah-dah..i ordered it and i received it just in time for school...             Prometheus Bound and Other Plays: Prometheus Bound, The Suppliants, Seven Against Thebes, The Persian ...5 reviews Philip Vellacott Penguin Classics, 1961 Excellent translations of the four non-Oresteian plays. Vellacott has supplied us with excellent translations with commentaries on the four non-Oresteian plays. The seven plays of Aeschylus should be read by every college-level student, irrespective of their major (I'm in the sciences and I have enjoyed them). The popular "Prometheus Bound" is concerned with the conflict between force and injustice on one side and intelligence, justice, and ...             Aeschylus I: Oresteia: Agamemnon, The Libation Bearers, The Eumenides (The Complete Greek Tragedies) (Vol 1)12 reviews Aeschylus University Of Chicago Press, 1969 An excellent trilogy Aeschylus (525-456 BC) is the father of Greek tragedies (one legend reports that Dionysus himself commanded Aeschylus to write them). Of the seventy tragedies that he wrote, only seven have survived to the present day. These three plays form the most complete tetralogy that we have (a tetralogy contained three tragedies and one satyr play - a semi-religious, semi-mocking performance that acted as ...             Oresteia3 reviews Aeschylus Hackett Publishing Company, 1998 The play within the Translation I worked on the production of this translation at The University of South Carolina in 1998. I designed the costumes and masks. Before I began the design process, I read other translations of the script. Peter's translation was done with attention to what the characters were saying, not just the literal dictionary definition of the Ancient Greek. The pacing and flow of the play is great and ...             Prometheus Bound (Dover Thrift Editions)11 reviews Aeschylus Dover Publications, 1996 A surprisingly easy to grasp translation... I always find the prospect of reading ancient literature daunting, but this play was very easy to understand. I would definitely recommend this as a supplement for those studying ancient Greek Mythology. It really added depth to my understanding of Prometheus, Zeus and the mind set of the Ancient Greeks.             Aeschylus: Agamemnon (Cambridge Translations from Greek Drama)8 reviews Aeschylus Cambridge University Press, 2004 Superb, if a bit dogmatic. [Note: This edition is a text in ANCIENT GREEK with notes in English. It has no text in English if you are looking for one. There are many to recommend. The best translation of the Oresteia, of which this work is the first part, is in Tony Harrison's Collected Works; the worst, in my opinion at least, was written by Ted Hughes. All the rest are good.] This is a superb edition with one caveat. At ...             Oresteia2 reviews Aeschylus University of California Press, 2008 A superb presentation of the three plays of Aeschylus. An excellent presentation of the trilogy. Way back in 1970, Sir Lloyd-Jones had come out with the three plays in individual format and filled with annotations. Now, all three plays are together. And all three plays should be required reading for new students at a university. The first play in the Oresteia trilogy (the only extant Greek trilogy) is "Agamemnon." The trilogy won First Prize at ...             Persians (Greek Tragedy in New Translations)4 reviews Aeschylus Oxford University Press, USA, 1991 The tragedy of a proud people. "Persians" deals with a people trying to exceed mortal limits. The king of persia blinds his people into believing they can accomplish deeds that exceed the laws of the divine and it's natural order. The king invades Greece despite bad omens. The people in Persia are told they are defeated by a messenger and mourn in mad disbelief. Searching for answers they summon the spirit of a once great ...             Aeschylus, II, Oresteia: Agamemnon. Libation-Bearers.

It's volume one of a four volume collection, _The Complete Greek Tragedies_ (volume two is Sophocles and volumes three and four are Euripides), and all four volumes are lovely hardcovers, printed on nice paper, with handsome Greekish designs on the front and interspersed throughout. Maybe not so attractive as to go on your mantel, but their prominence in your ...             Suppliants & Other Dramas (Everyman's Library (Paper)) Aeschylus Orion Publishing Group, Ltd., 1996 Aeschylus' first three surviving tragedies are collected here with the fragments of lost dramas and works by other dramatists that were attributed to him.             The Oresteian Trilogy: Agamemnon; The Choephori; The Eumenides (Penguin Classics)4 reviews Aeschylus Penguin Classics, 1956 The only surviving Greek trilogy.
