Aeschylus
This volume presents the complete trilogy of Aeschylus’s surviving works in English verse: 'Agamemnon,' 'Choëphoroe, Or the Mourners,' and 'Eumenides, Or the Reconciliation.' Aeschylus, a towering figure of ancient Greek drama, offers profound insights into themes of justice, revenge, and reconciliation. 'Agamemnon' recounts the king’s triumphant but doomed return from the Trojan War. 'Choëphoroe' depicts the vengeful return of Orestes. 'Eumenides' concludes the cycle with the establishment of the Athenian court, symbolizing the shift from personal vengeance to civic justice.This collection is essential for students of classical literature, theater enthusiasts, and anyone interested in the enduring power of Greek tragedy.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
