The Agamemnon of Aeschylus by Aeschylus Aeschylus Pdf

Excerpt from The Agamemnon of Aeschylus: A Revised Text and a Translation I have prayed the Gods for respite from these toils through the length of my year's watch, while, bedded on the roof of the Atreidae, from my bended arm I watch like a dog the assem blage of the stars of night, those that bring winter and summer to mortals, bright lords gleaming in the sky, - the stars I mean, their settings and their risings. And now I am watch ing for the signal of the torch, the gleam of fire that is to bring news from Troy and tidings of her capture; for so commands a. Woman's manly counselling hopeful heart. But While I keep this night-wandering dewy bed, not visited by dreams, - this bed of mine, for fear is my companion in place of sleep, so that I cannot close my eyes steadily in slumber, - and when I please to sing or hum, taking this medicine of song to keep off sleep, then I weep, bewailing the calamitie'emof this house, which is not as of yore ordered for the best. And now I pray that a happy release from my toils may come, by the signal fire appearing with good tidings through the gloom of night.

The Oresteia of Aeschylus by R. C. Trevelyan Pdf

Excerpt from The Oresteia of Aeschylus: Agamemnon, Choephori, Eumenides The fragments of Aeschylus' s predecessors are too scanty to give us any clear idea of the debt he may have owed to them. But it seems probable that drama, as one of the supreme forms of art, was the creation of his own unique personal genius Within the limits of a short introduction no adequate account can be given of his art, or of its rela tions to the plays of his rivals and successors. I must confine myself to a few remarks upon the traditional drama tic forms which he inherited and developed, and upon my own methods of translation.

Aeschylus (Classic Reprint) by Reginald Stephen Copleston Pdf

Excerpt from Aeschylus IN order rightly to understand the drama of the Greeks, and especially their tragedy, we must rid our selves, as far as possible, of those associations which now cling in England round the names of play and theatre. For our modern plays are so unlike a Greek tragedy, and the position which they occupy is so entirely different from that of the Athenian theatre, that the few points which both have in common are more likely to impede than assist us.

The House of Atreus by Aeschylus Aeschylus Pdf

Excerpt from The House of Atreus: Being the Agamemnon, Libation-Bearers and Furies of Aeschylus AEschylus, son of Euphorion, an Athenian of the deme of Eleusis, was born, B.C. 525. He consecrated his life to the tragic art from his youth upwards: yet he is held to have been a valiant soldier, and with his brother Cynegirus to have fought at Marathon, and at Salamis, and at Plataea as some say. Afterwards, being at variance with the Athenians, he went away from them unto Sicily, and dwelt at the court of Hiero, tyrant of Gela, and was held by him in high honour. He died in his sixty-ninth year by a strange fate, whereof he had been warned in an oracle, saying A stroke from heaven shall slay thee. For as he was walking on the shore, an eagle, that had snatched up a tortoise into the air, let it drop; and it fell upon him, and he died.

The Agamemnon of Æschylus by John Fletcher Davies Pdf

Excerpt from The Agamemnon of AEschylus: Revised and Translated By a 'literal' Translation the Editor means one which follows the construction of the Greek. With the exception of minor points, such as 'myto' hush!' and the passages which could not be literally rendered in any idiomatic prose version this professes to be a literal translation. Of course the ordinary and well known deviations from the Greek to the English idiom are systematically made. A peculiarity of the English language is its neglect of connecting particles between the periods. The logical connexion is always defined in Greek by the proper par ticles; in English the reader is nearly always left to discover it without assistance. The participle and finite verb usually become two finite verbs. The aorist participle is most frequently rendered by the English present. The present and imperfect tenses with a word of time must be translated by the perfect and pluperfect with 'been', thus: 'i have been asking'. The force of 75p in a monostichia may be given by other words besides 'for'. The gnomic aorist, as it is called, should always be turned into the present. Sometimes the Greek idiom prefers the singular number, while the English demands the plural; and vice versa. In the use of 'you' and 'thou' the translator must be guided by the tone of the passage, and the earnestness of the speaker; but, in general, the former is to be preferred. And so on. Without the observance of these and other idioms the Translation could not have passed even for English prose with poetic licenses. Where words are supplied for the sake of the metre they are written in italics, and care has been taken to use such words as would merely help to put the idea more clearly without adding to or subtracting from the sense or colouring of the sentence. Such words as are implied in the Greek but not expressed are not distinguished by italics. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
