Published posthumously in 1910, this is the last great work of the
eminent classical scholar Walter Headlam (1866 1908), who devoted
most of his short life to the study of Aeschylus. On Headlam's
death, Alfred Pearson was commissioned to finish the project, and
the care and precision of both scholars are evident in this
well-edited text. Pearson added a commentary and explanatory notes
to Headlam's translation and introduction, both of which were
nearly complete when the author died. The text is set out with the
English translation facing the original Greek, making them easy to
compare. The substantial introduction includes background about the
House of Atreus as well as a detailed plot summary, a discussion of
the moral and religious content of the play and a description of
the characters. Pearson's commentary and notes are equally
comprehensive and informative.
