Book excerpt: For readers accustomed to the relatively undramatic standard translations of Prometheus Bound, this version by James Scully, a poet and winner of the Lamont Poetry Prize, and C. John Herington, one of the world's foremost Aeschylean scholars, will come as a revelation. Scully and Herington accentuate the play's true power, drama, and relevance to modern times.

Book Synopsis The Authenticity of Prometheus Bound by : Mark Griffith
Download or read book The Authenticity of Prometheus Bound written by Mark Griffith and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2007-07-26 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prometheus Bound was accepted without question in antiquity as the work of Aeschylus, and most modern authorities endorse this ascription. But since the nineteenth century several leading scholars have come to doubt Aeschylean authorship. Dr Griffith here provides a thorough and wide-ranging study of this problem, and concludes: 'Had Prometheus Bound been newly dug up from the sands of Oxyrhynchus... few scholars would regard it as the work of Aeschylus.' After a preliminary assessment of the external evidence, Dr Griffith examines minutely the idiosyncrasies of metre, dramatic technique, vocabulary, syntax and expression to be found in the play, applying the same tests to other plays of Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides in order to provide a control for his methods. In his final chapter he discusses how the conditions surrounding the ancient transmission and cataloguing of texts may have led to the ascription to Aeschylus.
Book Synopsis ›Prometheus Bound‹ - A Separate Authorial Trace in the Aeschylean Corpus by : Nikos Manousakis
Download or read book ›Prometheus Bound‹ - A Separate Authorial Trace in the Aeschylean Corpus written by Nikos Manousakis and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2020-05-05 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Classics, Computer Science, and Linguistics are brought together in this book, in an attempt to provide an answer to the authorship question concerning Prometheus Bound, a disputed play in the Aeschylean corpus, by applying some well-established Computer Stylistics methods. One of the main objectives of Stylometry, which, broadly speaking, is the study of quantified style, is Authorship Attribution. In its traditional form it can range from manually calculating descriptive statistics to the use of computer-assisted methodologies. However, non-traditional Authorship Attribution drastically changed the field. It brought together modern Linguistics and Artificial Intelligence applications (machine learning, natural language processing), and its key characteristic is that it aims at developing fully-automated systems for the attribution of texts of unknown authorship. In this book the author employs a series of supervised and unsupervised techniques used in non-traditional Authorship Attribution–applied here for the first time in ancient drama. The outcome of the analysis indicates a significant distance between the disputed text and the secure plays of Aeschylus, but also various interesting (micro-linguistic) ties of affinity with other authors, especially Sophocles and Euripides.

Download or read book Greek Tragedy written by Aeschylus and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2004-08-26 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agememnon is the first part of the Aeschylus's Orestian trilogy in which the leader of the Greek army returns from the Trojan war to be murdered by his treacherous wife Clytemnestra. In Sophocles' Oedipus Rex the king sets out to uncover the cause of the plague that has struck his city, only to disover the devastating truth about his relationship with his mother and his father. Medea is the terrible story of a woman's bloody revenge on her adulterous husband through the murder of her own children.
Download or read book Prometheus Trilogy written by Aeschylus and published by . This book was released on 2015-01-04 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Henry David Thoreau's translation of "Prometheus Bound" was published in 1843 in the "Dial," the most important magazine of the American transcendentalist movement. This edition makes it available to a wide audience in book form for the first time. This edition also includes descriptions and fragments of the other two plays of Aeschylus' Prometheus trilogy. "Prometheus Bound" has been one of the most influential of the classical Greek tragedies, inspiring poems by Goethe, Shelly, Byron and others. But it is often misunderstood, because it is read in isolation. Read by itself, "Prometheus Bound" seems to tell the story of Prometheus' heroic resistance to Zeus' tyranny. But when we read the entire trilogy, we can see that the relation between Zeus and Prometheus is far more complex. "Prometheus Bound" has always been considered one of the greatest Greek tragedies-and this book lets us see that the Prometheus trilogy as a whole is more powerful than this one play. This edition includes an introduction by the great classical scholar, Nikolaus Wecklein, which has long been out of print. It also includes commentary by Charles Siegel, which makes an important new contribution to scholarship about reconstructing the Prometheus trilogy.
Book Synopsis The Persians and Other Plays by : Aeschylus
Download or read book The Persians and Other Plays written by Aeschylus and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2009-11-26 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aeschylus (525-456 BC) brought a new grandeur and epic sweep to the drama of classical Athens, raising it to the status of high art. The Persians, the only Greek tragedy to deal with events from recent Athenian history, depicts the final defeat of Persia in the battle of Salamis, through the eyes of the Persian court of King Xerxes, becoming a tragic lesson in tyranny. In Prometheus Bound, the defiant Titan Prometheus is brutally punished by Zeus for daring to improve the state of wretchedness and servitude in which mankind is kept. Seven Against Thebes shows the inexorable downfall of the last members of the cursed family of Oedipus, while The Suppliants relates the pursuit of the fifty daughters of Danaus by the fifty sons of Aegyptus, and their final rescue by a heroic king.
