Agamemnon is the first of the three plays within the Oresteia
trilogy and is considered to be one of Aeschylus' greatest works.
This collection of 12 essays, written by prominent international
academics, brings together a wide range of topics surrounding
Agamemnon from its relationship with ancient myth and ritual to its
modern reception. There is a diverse array of discussion on the
salient themes of murder, choice and divine agency. Other essays
also offer new approaches to understanding the notions of wealth
and the natural world which imbue the play, as well as a study of
the philosophical and moral questions of choice and revenge.
Arguments are contextualized in terms of performance, history and
society, discussing what the play meant to ancient audiences and
how it is now received in the modern theatre. Intended for readers
ranging from school students and undergraduates to teachers and
those interested in drama (including practitioners), this volume
includes a performer-friendly and accessible English translation by
David Stuttard.
