The volume brings together four major works by one of the great classical dramatists: Prometheus Bound, translated by James Scully and C. John Herrington, a haunting depiction of the most famous of Olympian punishments; The Suppliants, translated by Peter Burian, an extraordinary drama of flight and rescue arising from women's resistance to marriage; Persians, translated by Janet Lembke and C. John Herington, a masterful telling of the Persian Wars from the view of the defeated; and Seven Against Thebes, translated by Anthony Hecht and Helen Bacon, a richly symbolic play about the feuding sons of Oedipus. These four tragedies were originally available as single volumes. This new volume retains the informative introductions and explanatory notes of the original editions and adds a single combined glossary and Greek line numbers.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 200mmItem Length: 134mmItem Width: 21mmItem Weight: 552gContributor: Peter Burian (Edited by), Alan Shapiro (Edited by)Genre: Literary CriticismBook Series: Greek Tragedy in New TranslationsAuthor: No AuthorTopic: Poetry & DramaRelease Year: 2009 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
