Persians by Aeschylus (English) Paperback Book

Description: Persians by Aeschylus, Janet Lembke, C.J. Herington Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Based on the conviction that only translator who write poetry themselves can properly recreate the celebrated and timeless tragedies of Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides, the Greek Tragedy in New Translations series offers new translations that go beyond the literal meaning of the Greek in order to evoke the poetry of the originals. Publisher Description The Persians, Aeschylus earliest surviving tragedy, holds a fascination both for readers of Greek drama and Greek history. Not only is it the earliest existing play in the Western tradition, it is drawn directly from the playwrights own experiences at the battle of Salamis, making it the only account of the Persian Wars composed by an eyewitness. And as pure tragedy, it is a masterpiece. Aeschylus tells the story of the war from the Persian point ofview, and his pride in the great victory of Greeks is tempered with a real compassion for Xerxes and his vanquished nation. Lembke and Harrington have rendered this stunning work in a modern translation thatloses none of the originals dramatic juxtaposition of serenity and violence, hope and despair.
