A COMPANION TO AESCHYLUS In A Companion to Aeschylus, a team of
eminent Aeschyleans and brilliant younger scholars delivers an
insightful and original multi-authored examination—the first
comprehensive one in English—of the works of the earliest
surviving Greek tragedian. This book explores Aeschylean drama, and
its theatrical, historical, philosophical, religious, and
socio-political contexts, as well as the receptions and influence
of Aeschylus from antiquity to the present day. This companion
offers readers thorough examinations of Aeschylus as a product of
his time, including his place in the early years of the Athenian
democracy and his immediate and ongoing impact on tragedy. It also
provides comprehensive explorations of all the surviving plays,
including Prometheus Bound, which many scholars have concluded is
not by Aeschylus. A Companion to Aeschylus is an ideal resource for
students encountering the work of Aeschylus for the first time as
well as more advanced scholars seeking incisive treatment of his
individual works, their cultural context and their enduring
significance. Written in an accessible format, with the Greek
translated into English and technical terminology avoided as much
as possible, the book belongs in the library of anyone looking for
a fresh and authoritative account of works of continuing interest
and importance to readers and theatre-goers alike.
