Highly acclaimed as translators of Greek and Sanskrit classics, respectively, David Grene and Wendy Doniger O'Flaherty here present a complete modern translation of the three plays comprising Aeschylus' Oresteia and, with the assistance of director Nicholas Rudall, an abridged stage adaptation. This balanced and highly successful collaboration of scholars with a theater director solves the contemporary problems of translating and staging the Oresteia, which originally was written to be performed in Athens in the first half of the fifth century B.C. While remaining faithful to the original Greek, Grene and O'Flaherty embrace a strong and adventurous English style, vivid and visceral. The language of this extraordinary translation, immediately accessible to a theater audience, speaks across the centuries. Premiered at Chicago's Court Theater in 1986 under Rudall's direction, the stage adaptation of the Oresteia proved eminently playable. This new adaptation of the Oresteia offers a brilliant demonstration of how clearly defined goals (here, the actor's needs) can inspire translators to produce fresh, genuine, accessible dramatic texts. The resulting work provides complete and accurate texts for those who cannot read the original Greek, and it transforms the Oresteia into an effective modern stage play. With interpretive introductions written by the translators and director, this new version will be welcomed by teachers of translation courses, by students of Greek and world drama in general, and by theater professionals.

The Oresteia Trilogy, Aeschylus's masterwork, presents a profound exploration of justice, vengeance, and the evolution of societal norms in ancient Greece. Comprising three plays—Agamemnon, The Libation Bearers, and The Eumenides—this unabridged English translation captures the lyrical beauty and intricate construction of Aeschylus's language, while immersing readers in the rich tapestry of myth and tradition. The trilogy is notable for its intricate dialogue and the transition from personal retribution to collective civic responsibility, reflecting the tension between archaic blood feuds and the emerging concept of judicial law, set against the backdrop of the tumultuous aftermath of the Trojan War. Aeschylus, often hailed as the father of tragedy, was deeply influenced by the socio-political landscape of 5th-century BCE Athens. Having witnessed the devastating consequences of war and tyranny, his works grapple with themes of moral complexity and divine justice. The Oresteia trilogy serves as a commentary on the transition from an ancient worldview to a more enlightened rule of law, likely inspired by his engagement in Athenian culture and civic affairs. This seminal work is an essential read for anyone interested in the foundations of Western literature and drama. A compelling blend of intricate character dynamics and philosophical depth, The Oresteia invites readers to ponder the nature of justice through its characters' harrowing journeys. Whether approached as a socio-political critique or a timeless narrative of familial tragedy, it remains profoundly relevant and insightful.

Agamemnon *Libation Bearers *Eumenides Aeschylus' Oresteia is the only trilogy to survive from Greek tragedy, and the religious and moral ideas it enacts afterwards influenced a great dramatic genre, as well as giving its three plays their lasting significance. In this family history, Fate and the gods decree that each generation will repeat the crimes and endure the suffering of their forebears. When Agamemnon is murdered by his wife, Clytemnestra, their son Orestes must avenge his father's death. Only Orestes' appeal to the goddess Athena saves him from his mother's Furies, breaking the bloody chain; together gods and humans inaugurate a way of just conduct that will ensure stable families and a strong community. The Oresteia is majestic as theatre and as literature, and this new translation seeks to preserve both these qualities. The introduction and notes emphasize the interconnection of scenes, ideas, and language that distinguishes this unique work. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

One of the founding documents of Western culture and the only surviving ancient Greek trilogy, the Oresteia of Aeschylus is one of the great tragedies of all time. The three plays of the Oresteia portray the bloody events that follow the victorious return of King Agamemnon from the Trojan War, at the start of which he had sacrificed his daughter Iphigeneia to secure divine favor. After Iphi-geneia’s mother, Clytemnestra, kills her husband in revenge, she in turn is murdered by their son Orestes with his sister Electra’s encouragement. Orestes is pursued by the Furies and put on trial, his fate decided by the goddess Athena. Far more than the story of murder and ven-geance in the royal house of Atreus, the Oresteia serves as a dramatic parable of the evolution of justice and civilization that is still powerful after 2,500 years. The trilogy is presented here in George Thomson’s classic translation, renowned for its fidelity to the rhythms and richness of the original Greek.
