Search this site: Prometeus Bound / The Suppliants / Seven Against Thebes / The Persians Aeschylus Translated by Philip Vellacot 463-472 B.C. London: Penguin Books, 1961. ISBN: 0-14-044112-3. Pp. 160 This slender book collects four of the seven extant plays by the first and perhaps most revered Greek tragedian. Only a basic introduction is supplied that mentions dating issues along with a brief background synopsis. The end notes are also bare-bones. All this is perhaps made up by the quality of the translation which really makes the speeches appear straightforward and in no need for additional explanatory material. As the introduction mentions, Aeschulys wrote a lot of plays, the most famous (for us) of which is the Oresteia trilogy. The first three plays included in this tome seem to have formed parts of trilogies themselves and, somewhat contrary to frequent assertions, do not deal with the same (or even similar topics). Prometheus Bound deals with hubris. The Titan is supposed to be the sympathetic figure, having saved mankind from destruction by Zeus (who had planned to wipe out the failed experiment and create a new and better race of men), having stolen fire from the gods and given it to man, and having taught people arts and crafts, Prometheus is chained to a rock and tormented by an eagle. All the more pitiful he is and all the more unreasonably vengeful Zeus seems considering that this Titan also helped the Olympians topple Kronos and assume the leadership among the supernatural beings. The play deals with the act of chaining, and then has Prometheus tell a bit of his story to Io (see next play), foretell the fall of Zeus, and get visited by Hermes who tries to extort some information from him but fails.

69. Aeschylus, Oresteia: Illustrations And Study Questions This vase antedates aeschylus Oresteia it shows Aegisthus striking down the helpless king, who is shrouded in a transparent robe, while Clytemnestra, http://mkatz.web.wesleyan.edu/cciv110x/oresteia/study.aeschylus.html

CCIV 110 WOMEN IN ANCIENT GREECE SPRING 2000 ILLUSTRATIONS AND STUDY QUESTIONS AESCHYLUS, ORESTEIA AGAMEMNON LIBATION BEARERS, EUMENIDES April 10 Aeschylus, Agamemnon This vase antedates Aeschylus' Oresteia : it shows Aegisthus striking down the helpless king, who is shrouded in a transparent robe, while Clytemnestra, wielding an axe, follows behind him. The female figure on the right with unbound hair is probably Agamemnon's daughter, Electra. Behind her, on the right side of the vase, Cassandra flees from the scene. The figure just barely visible on the left, behind Clytemnestra, is probably Chrysothemis. ( To see an enlarged representation, click on the image .) How does this representation accord with the description of the murder of Agamemnon in the Oresteia (pages 160ff., lines 1391ff.)? What are the principal similarities and differences? The other side of the same vase is shown as the illustration for April 12. (From Boardman, Athenian Red Figure Vases of the Archaic Period Reread carefully the first choral ode of the Oresteia (pages 105-112; lines 43-258), consulting the notes on pp. 287ff. for an explanation of the references. What are the principal issues that justify the chorus's feelings of fear and apprehension? How do these affect the question of Agamemnon's reponsibility for his own death, if they do?

70. The Heart Of The Matter: Gods, Grief, And Freedom In Aeschylus' Orestia A look at the external expression of internal desire by figures in Greek tragedy. Throughout Mr. Deschenes paper are direct links to the Perseus resources http://ablemedia.com/ctcweb/showcase/deschenespaper1.html

THE HEART OF THE MATTER: Gods, Grief, and Freedom in Aeschylus' Oresteia Michael R. Deschenes For the rest I stay silent; a great ox stands upon my tongue Agamemnon Grief and gods in ancient Greek plays act as yokes of slavery on the heart by putting restraints on the act of venting one's emotions, thereby affecting or hindering what comes out of one's mouth, the external expression of internal desire. To escape these yokes and thus attain internal freedom, the ability to express oneself (the heart) without any conflict from within (grief) or external oppression (gods), is highly desirable, yet rarely possible. Therefore, a great deal of conflict transpires internally as well as externally: in Greek tragedies "mere mortals" spend a large portion of their time worrying about what they ought to say or do, and the presence of grief or the afflictions of a god act as heavy burdens upon one's personal freedom. Inability to express inner thoughts or feelings reflects a loss of personal freedom. The Athenian playwright Aeschylus (525-456 BC) in 458 BC produced an extremely powerful dramatic production, what Vellacott determines "the greatest of all Greek plays,"

Aeschylus, The Agamemnon Background to the story of Agamemnon's return Tantalus Thyestes and Atreus Agamemnon and Aegisthus Clytaemestra (=Clytemnestra) and Cassandra Aeschylus: 525 B.C. - 455 B.C. Oresteia (=Agamemnon + Libation Bearers + Eumenides): 458 B.C. Ancient Tragedy: the beginnings of drama The use of the chorus: song, dance, poetry The "cinematic" function of poetry in drama Fall of Troy: 320-337 (cycle of revenge) Soldier's life: 558-566 (Hell of the siege: Agamemnon's leadership) Helen 414-26, 737-42, 681-747, 1455-60 (a dream-like things, or desires urged on by a dream, lead to the killing of men) Atreus and Thyestes: 1095-97, 1186-1193, 1526-1533 Such images are not mere background, but are central images raising central questions: (1) what led to the murder (near causes, ancient causes)? (2) on whose side does justice lie? (3) will the cycle of killing ever end? Humans learn through suffering. pathei mathos. But if one killing / punishment leads to the next, where is the learning?
