    Extractions: My fate is angry if I obey these, But angry if I slaughter This child, the beauty of my house, With maiden blood shed staining These father's hands beside the altar. What of these things goes now without disaster? How shall I fail my ships And lose my faith of battle? A great ox stands on my tongue. Happiness is a choice that requires effort at times. It is in the character of very few men to honor without envy a friend who has prospered. Call no man happy till he is dead. I well know that mirror of friendship, shadow of a shade. Death is better, a milder fate than tyranny. It is like a woman indeed To take rapture before the fact is shown for true. They believe too easily, are too quick to shift

    Extractions: Ancient biographies are notoriously unreliable because many traditions about artists' lives arose well after they actually lived, and often were based on events in the poets own works. Thus, you have to be very careful about any stories about the Greek poets. No reliable contemporary source provides us with any detailed information about the life of Aeschylus, but later sources allow us to piece together an outline. Aeschylus' place of birth was Eleusis, the famous center for the cult of Demeter in Greece; the "mysteries" of Eleusis were rituals designed either to prepare the soul for the afterlife or for eventual reincarnation. Aeschylus was thirty-five years old at the battle of Marathon, one of the two pivotal events in the Greek struggle against the invading Persians.

    Extractions: This new translation of the 'Agamemnon' has, I believe, restored to Aeschylus that pagan vigour and understanding which is essential if one is to appreciate not only the work of Aeschylus, but also the civilization of Greece. Aeschylus, along with many other ancient classical authors, has suffered at the hands of those who have tried to translate Greek into English. Perhaps the greatest disservice done to him - and the others - is the rendering of certain concepts, mostly described by a particular Greek word, in what is fundamentally an un-Hellenic, abstract and moral way - albeit that this seems to be mostly unconsciously done. What results from this thoughtlessness is more often than not a sort of 'Christianizing' of Greek culture in retrospect - and thus a lack of insight into and understanding of the Hellenic way of living. One thinks here of verses like 1654-1656 from the 'Agamemnon'. This is always mis-translated to give something like: "No more violence. Here is a monstrous harvest and a bitter reaping time. There is pain enough already. Let us not be bloody now." The effect of such a 'translation' - not withstanding the abstract and modem concepts like "time" - is a moral one: the speaker (here, Clytaemnestra) apparently says, after killing Agamemnon and Cassandra, that she does not want any more "violence" and describes her killings as "monstrous". However, what Aeschylus actually has Clytaemnestra say is: "Let us not do any more harm for to reap these many would make it an

    Extractions: Aeschylus Aeschylus was the oldest of the most prominent tragedy writers and is generally considered the founder of Greek drama. He was the first to use a second actor in his plays, which made dialogues possible. Of his best known works is the Oresteia, which is about Agamemnon's son Orestes, who revenged his father only to be persecuted by the Erinyes. As a young man Aeschylus had fought against the Persians at the battle of Marathon. He ended his days as an old man at the court of the Tyrant Hieron of Syracuse and died when an eagle dropped a turtle on his head. Webmistress V.E.K. Sandels Home

    Extractions: Main Index I was working on my book yesterday (yes, mother, I am a workaholic - I'll slow down), when Sheryl yelled out to me, "You've got to see this!" I rushed into the kitchen where we political junkies keep a small set, perpetually tuned to the news channels. Sheryl was pointing to a very horsey-looking, unmade up Maria Shriver who was addressing a cheering crowd of Obama fanatics at UCLA. "She's backing Obama!" I stared at the screen. Sure enough, that's what was happening. "I thought, if Barack Obama was a state, he'd be California," Maria was saying . "Diverse. Open. Smart. Independent. Bucks tradition. Innovative. Inspirational. Dreamer. Leader." She had joined the Cult of Barack - and apparently without consulting her husband! (Shriver admitted she had just decided on the spur of the moment and rushed right over, hence the lack of makeup on the experienced broadcaster's face.) What to make of this? Arnold, as the world knows, had just endorsed McCain. Was she throwing a monkey wrench into their marriage or was she just swept up in the power of the cult? (Maybe her husband later told her - next time pick someone insignificant, like Ron Paul or Scientology.)

    Extractions: This edition of Aeschylus, the fifth century B.C. Greek tragedian, was printed a few years after the death of Aldus the Elder while the impetus of his program of publication of the Greek and Latin classics was still an important factor to the firm. In spite of an enthusiastic preface by Francesco Torresani boasting that few, if any, improvements could be made to the firm's productions, this first Greek edition of Aeschylus has been roundly condemned as one of the worst things ever to come off the Venetian press. One of its most famous gaffes is the editor's missing the fact that the manuscript lacked the pages containing the last part of Agamemnon and the first part of Choephori , printing them as though there were no break and suddenly throwing the reader into a completely different play with no warning. The book is displayed showing the page on which this lacuna occurs. Exhibit Home Page Greek and Latin Classics

    Extractions: @import url("http://www.blogger.com/css/blog_controls.css"); @import url("http://www.blogger.com/dyn-css/authorization.css?targetBlogID=6935968"); At the beginning of J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows , I saw the following motto from Aeschylus' Libation Bearers Oh, the torment bred in the race, the grinding scream of death and the stroke that hits the vein, the haemorrhage none can staunch, the grief, the curse no man can bear. Now hear, you blissful powers underground - answer the call, send help. Bless the children, give them Triumph now. Libation Bearers , or Choephori , is the second play in Aeschylus' dramatic trilogy Oresteia , and gets its name from the chorus of women who carry drink offerings to be poured on the grave of Agamemnon. Agamemnon was murdered by his wife Clytemnestra in the first play of the trilogy. The "children" in the quotation are Orestes and Electra, son and daughter of Agamemnon and Clytemnestra, who are plotting to kill their mother in revenge for her murder of their father.
