Aeschylus, 1: The Oresteia : Agamemnon, the Libation Bearers, the Eumenides

＂What David Slavitt does, as the early Roman poets did, is to take a poem as his ’model’ and make it his own by creating in late twentieth-century English an appropriate equivalent of the ancient poem. His Oresteia is the most lively and readable version known to me.＂—Gordon Williams
