The Penn Greek Drama Series presents original literary translations
of the entire corpus of classical Greek drama: tragedies, comedies,
and satyr plays. It is the only contemporary series of all the
surviving work of Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides, Aristophanes,
and Menander. This final volume of the tragedies of Aeschylus
relates the historic defeat and dissolution of the Persian Empire
on the heels of Xerxes disastrous campaign to subdue Greece, the
struggle between the two sons of Oedipus for the throne of Thebes,
the story of fifty daughters who seek asylum from their uncle, the
king of Egypt, because of his demand that they marry his sons, and
the well-known tale of the proud and unrepentant Prometheus, who is
chained to a massive rock for revealing fire and hope to humankind.
Translations are by David Slavitt (Persians), Stephen Sandy (Seven
Against Thebes), Gail Holst-Warhaft (The Suppliants), and William
Matthews (Prometheus Bound).
