Goldhill provides a (very) little social context, and a nice run down of the plays' important themes. I think he could have provided more information on the background stories; there's not much here about what happens in the Iliad, or about Thyestes' Feast, or any of that stuff. But I guess, since you're reading a Goodreads review, you can use wikipedia to find out that stuff. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique

This is the only general introduction in English to Aeschylus' Oresteia, one of the most important and most influential of all Greek dramas. It discusses the Greek drama festival and the social and political background of Greek tragedy, and offers a reading of this central trilogy. Simon Goldhill focuses on the play's themes of justice, sexual politics, violence, and the position of man within culture, and explores how Aeschylus constructs a myth for the city in which he lived. A final chapter considers the influence of the Oresteia on later theatre. Its clear structure and guide to further reading will make this an invaluable guide for students and teachers alike.
