Description
Aeschylus: Eumenides A freshly constituted text with introduction and commentary, this edition brings out how Aeschylus shaped his purposeful use of inherited legends to celebrate Athenian civic unity and justice. The play's daring innovations in technique and ideas are highlighted alongside its linguistic, metrical and textual challenges. The Oresteia trilogy is the only surviving complete work by Aeschylus, and Eumenides is its climactic conclusion. This edition provides a detailed commentary on the play's performance context, its relevance to Athenian society at the time of its production, and its enduring themes of justice and civic unity. For readers interested in classical drama and literary analysis, this edition offers a valuable insight into Aeschylus' work and its continued significance today.
