Description
The Oresteia Trilogy: Agamemnon, The Libation Bearers, The Eumenides. Whilst preserving a scholarly fidelity to the original Greek, the translation is written in a clear and energetic verse, designed to be as 'performable' in the theatre, as it is 'readable' in the home or study.

This translation brilliantly meets all the criteria (of accuracy and performability) very close to Aeschylus...yet also lucid, lithe and supple...a performance text * Fiona Macintosh, Director of The Archive of Performances of Greek and Roman Drama, University of Oxford *
