Description: Persians by Aeschylus, Podlecki A., A.J. Podlecki Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Aeschylus first surviving play about real people and events in 480 B.C. Publisher Description The Persians (Persae) is Aeschylus first surviving play. Unlike all other surviving Greek tragedies, which deal with persons and events from the remote, mythical past, it is about living persons and events that took place barely eight years before it was produced in March 472 BC. The setting of the play is Susa, the Persian capital: its hero, the Persian king who came so close to defeating the Greeks in 480: its theme, his own defeat at their hands. Anthony J. Podleckis translation of the play is complemented by a comprehensive introduction and notes, drawing the readers attention to conventions of idiom and imagery, legend and allusion. With detailed discussion of the play in relation to possible antecedents, levels of tragic action and metrical schema, the book is ideally suited to students of drama and literature as well as classics. Author Biography A.J. Podlecki is Professor of Classics, University of British Columbia. Details ISBN 1853991279 ISBN-13 9781853991271 Title Persians Author Aeschylus, Podlecki A., A.J.
