These three plays recount the murder of Agamemnon by his queen Clytemnestra on his return from Troy with the captive Trojan princess Cassandra; the murder in turn of Clytemnestra by their son Orestes; and Orestes' subsequent pursuit by the Avenging Furies (Eumenides) and eventual absolution. Hugh Lloyd-Jones's informative notes elucidate the text, and introductions to each play set the trilogy against the background of Greek religion as a whole and Greek tragedy in particular, providing a balanced assessment of Aeschylus's dramatic art. This superior translation should be read by every student of Greek civilization, classical literature, and drama.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USGenre: Literary CriticismAuthor: AeschylusTopic: Poetry & DramaRelease Year: 2014 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
