Description
Aeschylean Tragedy by Alan H. Sommerstein provides an in-depth analysis of Aeschylus' dramatic techniques and ideas. This revised edition explores the poet's use of language, theatre, and music, as well as his social, political, and religious themes. The book examines the seven extant plays of the Aeschylean corpus, including the "Oresteia" trilogy, alongside other surviving works that have not survived in their entirety. The author also discusses Aeschylus' satyr-dramas and dramatisations of Homer's epics, providing a comprehensive understanding of his work. For readers interested in classical drama and literature, this book offers a detailed guide to further reading, with all texts quoted in translation.
