“Agamemnon” is the first of the three linked tragedies which make up “The Oresteia” trilogy by the ancient Greek playwright Aeschylus, followed by “The Libation Bearers” and “The Eumenides”. The trilogy as a whole, originally performed at the annual Dionysia festival in Athens in 458 BCE, where it won first prize, is considered to be Aeschylus’ last authenticated, and also his greatest, work. “Agamemnon” describes the homecoming of Agamemnon, king of Argos, from the Trojan War, and his return to his wife, Clytemnestra, who had been planning his murder (in concert with her lover, Aegisthus) as revenge for Agamemnon’s earlier sacrifice of their daughter, Iphigenia.

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Story is brilliant, translation in verse well done, but not modern By M. Henderson It is a brilliant story. Aeschylus doesn't reveal everything at once, but gradually unveils the answers that a thoughtful audience inevitably asks. It is beautiful and seems like the forerunner to the modern story/novel, where the drama builds and much is revealed as it proceeds. Great use of the chorus to lead the audience/reader.I read a modern translation in parallel and, by that, I was able to follow along. It is a crime that we depend on older/anachronistic English translations, but I have found none in verse form. I appreciated the rhyming verse of this translation because it seemed truer to the original form.

1 of 2 people found the following review helpful. just as stated By Angela J. Bunchek would buy from this person again because they were 100% accurate on the condition of the book and really help my son save a ton of cash from not having to go thru the school to buy this book. Thanks

1 of 3 people found the following review helpful. No translator credited! By Eric D. Dobbs Nowhere in the text of this kindle edition can I find who is the translator. The famous opening speech of the Watchman seems familiar, but I would still like to know who helped Aeschylus with his English. I should have said when I originally posted this that the low star rating is entirely owing to the absence of the translator credit. If someone can tell me who it is, I will likely upgrade this review.
