The Plays of Aeschylus

Of the perhaps 80-90 plays by Aeschylus (525-456 BC), the oldest of the three great Greek tragedians, only six survive. Garvie (emeritus Greek, U. of Glasgow) examines these six in the chronological order of their first production. He also include a essay on Prometheus Bound, which seems to have been uncritically attributed to Aeschylus by ancients, but is now thought not to be his. He uses the same format as in his Plays of Sophocles for the series. Distributed in the US by Associated University Presses. Annotation 穢2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
