The Greek Tragedy in New Translations series is based on the
conviction that only translators who write poetry themselves, or
who work in collaboration with poets, can properly re-create the
celebrated and timeless tragedies of the great Greek writers. These
new translations are more than faithful to the original text, going
beyond the literal meaning in order to evoke the poetic intensity
and rich metaphorical texture of the Greek language. The Trojan
Women describes with unparalleled intensity the horrific brutality
that both women and children undergo at the end of the Trojan War,
but in the end it is a play that insists on the victory of spirit
amid the horrors created by gods and men. Poet and English
professor Alan Shapiro, together with noted Greek scholar,
translator, and Classics professor Peter Burian, bring into their
own words the Aeschylean vision of a world fraught with spiritual
and political tensions, disordered by an irrational war.
