The only trilogy in Greek drama that survives from antiquity Aeschylus The Oresteia" is translated by Robert fagles with an introduction notes & glossary written in collaboration with W.B. Stanford in " Penguin Classics". In the " Oresteia" Aeschylus addressed the bloody chain of murder & revenge within the royal family of Argos. As they move from darkness to light from rage to self-governance from primitive ritual to civilized institution their spirit of struggle & regeneration becomes an everlasting song of celebration. In " Agamemnon" a kings decision to sacrifice his daughter & turn the tide of war inflicts lasting damage on his family culminating in a terrible act of retribution; " The Libation Bearers" deals with the aftermath of Clytemnestras regicide as her son Orestes sets out to avenge his fathers death; & in " The Eumenides" Orestes is tormented by supernatural powers that can never be appeased. Forming an elegant & subtle discourse on the emergence of Athenian democracy out of a period of chaos & destruction " The Oresteia" is a compelling tragedy of the tensions between our obligations to our families & the laws that bind us together as a society. Aeschylus (525-456 BC) was born near Athens. He wrote more than seventy plays of which seven have survived all translated for " Penguin Classics": " The Supplicants" " The Persians" " Seven Against Thebes" " Prometheus Bound" " Agamemnon" " The Libation Bearers" & " The Eumenides". If you enjoyed " The Oresteia" you might like Euripides " Medea & Other Plays" also available in " Penguin Classics". " Conveys more vividly & powerfully than any of the ten competitors I have consulted the eternal power of this masterpiece...a triumph". (Bernard Levin). " How satisfying to read at last a modern translation which is rooted in Greek feeling & Greek thought...both the stature & the profound instinctive genius of Aeschylus are recognised". (Mary Renault author of " The King Must Die")." ...
