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

There is no denying The Oresteia's greatness and profound importance; it is a foundational text not only in drama but in literature itself and remains a clear masterpiece after nearly 2,500 years. As the earliest known dramatist whose work survives, Aeschylus' influence is impossible to exaggerate, and this, the first extant Greek dramatic trilogy, is his greatest known achievement. The story itself... 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

5. Oresteia (Oxford World's Classics)5.00 out of 5.00 stars
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

7. 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

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

10. The Oresteia5.00 out of 5.00 stars
By: Aeschylus, Ted Hughes
Publisher: Farrar Straus & Giroux (T)
1999-08

What a story! What a bloodbath ! It leaves the catsup'y-trite bluster of the typical Hollywood slasher pic in the dust. And it is Hughes who accomplishes this through his translation. Perhaps saying "story by Aeschulus" is not offering the old-timer his due... doubtless, when read in the Greek, the original had the flash and spurt of Hughes' version. But lacking the ancient tongue you'll find... more
