4.9/5 (27832 ratings)

Description:Excerpt from The Persians of AEschylus The plays of AEschylus which have already appeared in this series were translated by Dr Walter Headlam. The following version of the Persae is not from his hand, but the Translator has been aided in the interpretation of several passages by notes which he left. The text used is that of Wecklein (1885).In a few places only other readings have been adopted, either due to Walter Headlam or known to have been approved by him. These, with the exception of some differences in punctuation, will be found indicated in the margin. The references to other authors occasionally added in support of alterations are his, and the subjoined remarks on the diction of the play. The dialect of the Persae is different from that of the other plays of AEschylus. The characters are Persians, the scene is laid in their chief city, and the whole play reflects the manners and ideas of the East. To suit the local colour, the language has an appropriate cast. AEschylus makes his Persians speak in an archaic-sounding Ionic style, the Greek of Asia. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
