Description

Aeschylus II: The Oresteia and Other Fragments Translated by Richmond Lattimore and Mark Griffith. This edition brings together two major works, "The Oresteia" and fragments of "Proteus", in a new translation that aims to capture the original's poetic immediacy and clarity. The result is an English version that remains lively and compelling, making it a valuable resource for teachers, students, and readers. Sixty years ago, the University of Chicago Press embarked on a project to create a definitive English-language version of the Greek tragedies. This third edition updates the translations to bring them closer to the ancient Greek while retaining their vibrancy. The volume includes new introductions to each play, as well as information about its first production, plot, and reception in antiquity and beyond. This collection also features brand-new 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's satyr-drama The Trackers. Each volume includes notes addressing textual uncertainties and a glossary of names and places mentioned in the plays.
