More about the book

Exploring themes of resistance to marriage and the complex dynamics between genders, this ancient Greek drama presents a vivid portrayal of the struggles between lust, terror, and cunning. Peter Burian's translation captures Aeschylus' powerful language while making it accessible to contemporary readers. Unlike traditional Greek tragedies, it lacks a clear hero or tragic resolution, focusing instead on unresolved conflicts surrounding sexuality and emotional maturity. The play's modern relevance is enhanced through its dramatic tension and psychological depth.
