Books by Aeschylus

Mark Griffith examines Hesiod's morality tale and Aeschylus' play, Prometheus Bound, the fire-stealer in Greek mythology. This is suitable for undergraduates, students in the upper forms of schools and it also deserves the serious attention of scholars. It will also interest students of drama and literature in other cultures too.

"This critical edition provides a lavish and fulsome picture of ancient Greek tragedy's most significant surviving document." -Johanna Hanink, Brown University

Contains texts for the theatre of four of Aeschylus's seven extant plays: "The Persians", "Prometheus Bound", "The Suppliants" and "Seven against Thebes". Aeschylus is one of the most important figures of Athenian drama and his remaining three plays are available in "Aeschylus Plays: Two".

Contains the classical tragic trilogy "The Oresteia", which traces the passage of Greek emancipation from belief in blind necessity and from unquestioning submission to savage divinities. This is a companion volume to "Aeschylus Plays: One" which includes "Prometheus" and "The Persians".

First published in 1939, this book presents R. C. Trevelyan's English metrical translation of Aeschylus' Prometheus Bound. The aim of the text was to reproduce the form, phrasing and movement of the original for the benefit of readers without knowledge of Greek.

Offers translations of Euripides' "Medea", "The Children of Heracles", "Andromache", and "Iphigenia among the Taurians", fragments of lost plays by Aeschylus, and the surviving portion of Sophocles' "The Trackers". In this title, introductions for each play offer information about its first production, plot, and reception in antiquity and beyond.
