Aeschylus II, Oresteia: Agamemnon, Libation-Bearers, Eumenides (Loeb Classical Library No. 146)

Cambridge, MA, Harvard University Press, 2008. Hardcover. Sixteenmo. Hardcover. Olive cloth boards with gilt stamped titles. xxxvii, 494 pages ; 17 cm. Aeschylus (ca. 525-456 BCE), the dramatist who made Athenian tragedy one of the world's great art forms, witnessed the establishment of democracy at Athens and fought against the Persians at Marathon and probably also at Salamis, and had one of his productions sponsored by the young Pericles. He was twice invited to visit sicily, and it was there that he died. At Athens he competed for the tragic prize at the City Dionysia about nineteen times between circa 499 and 458, and won it on thirteen occasions; in his later years he was probably victorious almost every time he put on a production, though Sophocles beat him at least once. Of his total of about eighty plays, seven survive complete. The first volume of this new Loeb Classical Library edition offers fresh texts and translations by Alan H. Sommerstein of Persians (472), on the recent war, the only surviving Greek historical drama; Seven against Thebes (467), the third play of a trilogy, on the conflict between Oedipus' sons which ends when they kill each other; Suppliants, the first or second play of a trilogy, on the successful appeal by the daughters of Danaus to the king and people of Argos for protection against a forced marriage to their cousins (whom they will later murder, all but one); and Prometheus Bound (of disputed authenticity), on the terrible punishment of Prometheus for giving fire to humans in defiance of Zeus (with whom he will later be reconciled after preventing his overthrow). The second volume contains the complete Oresteia trilogy (458), comprising Agamemnon, Libation-Bearers, and Eumenides, presenting the murder of Agamemnon by his wife, the revenge taken by their son Orestes, the pursuit of Orestes by his mother's avenging Furies, his trial and acquittal at Athens, Athena's pacification of the Furies, and the blessings they both invoke upon the Athenian people. The third volume collects all the major fragments of lost Aeschylean plays. VG. Jacket has light rubbing and a little wear around edges, but all around a clean copy.

He 'can be considered the 'inventor' of tragedy as we understand it'. (The Classical Tradition, N.Y., 2010, p. 10) He became an instant classic in his time. In Byzantine times seven of his plays, the so called heptas, continued to be copied and studied, but in the West he was forgotten for almost one and a half thousand years. In the Renaissance he was revived with the arrival of Greek manuscripts in the West, and by the printing press. The oldest of the more than 100 surviving Aeschylean manuscripts dates from ca. 1000, and was written in Constantinople. It was brought to Florence by the Italian humanist G. Ausrispa. Aeschylus was published by Aldus in Venice in 1513. It was only in the late 18th century that Aeschylus was translated into French and German. 'From that time forward, interest in Aeschylus blossomed. The character of his language and thought (.) formerly a stumbling block, became a virtue for the new Romantic sensibility, aided perhaps by the fact that the Age of Revolution saw the Aeschylean Prometheus as the archetypal hero of defiance. In this regard the 'continuation' of Prometheus Bound by Herder (Der entfesselte Prometheus, 1802; choruses set to music by Liszt, 1850-1855) and Shelley (Prometheus Unbound, 1820) are of particular importance'. (Op. cit.) In the play Zeus is represented as a harsh and unjust tyrant. Aeschylus' authorship of the Prometheus is however disputed on metrical and stylistic ground, and with respect to the content. § The French eminent humanist scholar Adrien Turnebus, 1512-1565, 'was a specialist in Greek textual criticism. From 1552-1556 he was Director of the Royal Press, and, in that capacity, published a series of Greek texts, including Aeschylus (1552) and Sophocles with the scholia of Triclinius (1553)'. (Sandys, 2,186) In 1547 Turnebus was appointed Professor Regius at the Collège Royal. 'Turnebus himself says the following on his sources and working method in his Greek foreword (of this Aeschylyus edition); after he had started work on this edition, he found his task more difficult than he had originally expected, on account of the excessive corruption of the text (i.e. Aldus); as a good physician he has attempted to heal the patient by both due caution and thoroughness; may the gentle reader sooner be grateful to him for his successes than blame him for his failures. Fortunately he had been given an old ms. of the triad by Aimar de Ranconet so that he had had a sound basis for its emendation, but correction of the other tragedies was extremely difficult through the lack of mss.; yet there too he had been able to emend considerably with the aid of the scholia and by conjecture'.
