Based on the conviction that only translators who write poetry
themselves can properly re-create the celebrated and timeless
tragedies of Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides, the Greek Tragedy
in New Translations series offers new translations that go beyond
the literal meaning of the Greek in order to evoke the poetry of
the originals.
The volume brings together four major works by one of the great
classical dramatists: Prometheus Bound, translated by James Scully
and C. John Herrington, a haunting depiction of the most famous of
Olympian punishments; The Suppliants, translated by Peter Burian,
an extraordinary drama of flight and rescue arising from women's
resistance to marriage; Persians, translated by Janet Lembke and C.
John Herington, a masterful telling of the Persian Wars from the
view of the defeated; and Seven Against Thebes, translated by
Anthony Hecht and Helen Bacon, a richly symbolic play about the
feuding sons of Oedipus. These four tragedies were originally
available as single volumes. This new volume retains the
informative introductions and explanatory notes of the original
editions and adds a single combined glossary and Greek line
numbers.
