The Complete Aeschylus: Volume I: The Oresteia - Aeschylus; Burian, Peter; Shapiro, Alan

Clean, tight, unmarked; absolute minimal wear; appears unread; Aeschylus' Oresteia, the only ancient tragic trilogy to survive, is one of the great foundational texts of Western culture. It begins with Agamemnon, which describes Agamemnon's return from the Trojan War and his murder at the ands of his wife Clytemnestra, continues with her murder by their son Orestes in Libation Bearers, and concludes with Orestes' acquittal at a court founded by Athena in Eumenides. This translation is faithful to the strangeness of the original Greek and to its enduring human truth.
