Author Description

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.
