Oresteia Books

1. The Oresteia: Agamemnon; The Libation Bearers; The Eumenides (Penguin Classics)4.50 out of 5.00 stars
By: Aeschylus
Publisher: Penguin Classics
February 07, 1984

I appreciated the opportunity to read Robert Fagles' translation of The Oresteia. To be sure, it is a difficult text and translation to read, but probably the best. By difficult, I mean dense and complex, just like reading Shakespeare, with all the good and bad connotations. By "best" translation I mean truest representation in English of what the author had in mind when he wrote the play in Greek... more

By: Aeschylus
Publisher: CreateSpace
September 22, 2009

I found this edition of the more notable of the surviving plays of Aeschylus to be more than adequate, quite good in fact. For a more modern reading of these plays, I would highly recommend this particular edition of Aeschylus, compared to other editions (Penguin) which are available... more

5. The Oresteia (Greek Tragedy in New Translations)3.50 out of 5.00 stars
By: Aeschylus
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA
October 07, 2004

This translation of Aeschylus' "Oresteia" kept me reading from beginning to end. I found Alan Shapiro's rendition of "Agamemnon" with its opaque vocabulary and imagery compelling, especially the hypnotic rhythms and repetitions of the long parodos and the second choral ode. He also has captured the incantatory vocabulary and imagery of Clytemnestra's "estin thalassa" speech: "There is a sea--who will... more

7. The Oresteia (Drama Classics)5.00 out of 5.00 stars
By: Aeschylus
Publisher: Nick Hern Books
April 01, 2008

The Oresteia by Aeschylus, Trilogy includes Agamemnon, The Libation Bearers and The Eumenides.

The Oresteia is the only Greek trilogy that survived. Each of these plays is a classical tragedy, and each is wonderful in its own right. Aeschylus is one of the greatest poets in history! ... more

By: Aeschylus
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA
January 15, 2009

This is a compelling new edition of the Oresteia. It rivals all existing Oresteia's and perhaps comes closest to Lattimore's version in accuracy and completeness of text. It is my favorite Oresteian Trilogy alongside Peter Meineck's version.

Christopher Collard preserves the intricacy of Aeschylus's language while keeping the drama moving naturally. He does not force poetry or ideas... more

From: Faber & Faber
Publisher: Faber & Faber
March 02, 2010

For anyone who is a fan of "the originals", the Greeks - you will not find a more creative, or inspirational translation. Anne Carson is not only brilliant, but she is savagely courageous in her take on these plays. I dare you to read them from the outside. You must enter her work to experience her genius... more
