Reader reviews for Aeschylus I: The Persians/The Seven Against Thebes/The Suppliant Maidens/Prometheus Bound

From the publisher

The most engaging and authoritative translation of some of the foundational works of Western culture

This volume collects careful, readable translations of some of the key works of Aeschylus by experts in the language and culture of the ancient Greek world in which he lived and wrote. Aeschylus I contains "The Persians," translated by Seth Benardete; "The Seven Against Thebes," translated by David Grene; "The Suppliant Maidens," translated by Seth Benardete; and "Prometheus Bound," translated by David Grene.

For this edition, series editors Mark Griffith and Glenn W. Most have carefully updated the translations to bring them even closer to the ancient Greek while retaining the vibrancy for which our English versions are famous.New introductions for each play offer essential information about its first production, plot, and reception in antiquity and beyond. In addition, each volume includes an introduction to the life and work of its tragedian, as well as notes addressing textual uncertainties and a glossary of names and places mentioned in the plays.
