The Oresteia by Aeschylus, the only extant trilogy among the Greek tragedies, is considered to be one of the great foundational texts of Western culture. In this new translation by Alan Shapiro and Peter Burian, the strangeness of the original Greek and its enduring human truth come alive in language that is remarkable for its unrelenting poetic intensity, its rich metaphorical texture, and a verbal density that at times can modulate into the simplest expressions.
