The Complete Aeschylus: Volume II: Persians and Other Plays (Greek Tragedy in New Translations)

This volume collects Aeschylus' Prometheus Bound, a haunting depiction of the most famous of Olympian punishments; The Suppliants, an extraordinary drama of flight and rescue arising from women's resistance to marriage; Persians, a masterful telling of the Persian Wars from the view of the defeated; and Seven Against Thebes, a richly symbolic play about the feuding sons of Oedipus. The volume retains the informative introductions and explanatory notes of the original editions and adds a single combined glossary and Greek line numbers.
