Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Agamemnon of Aeschylus and the Bacchanals of Euripides: With Passages From the Lyric and Later Poets of Greece With the exception of the Tragedies (only passages of which I had rendered), almost all the Translations in this volume were interspersed in the Lectures which I delivered as Professor of Poetry in Oxford. My object was to enliven Lectures then composed, according to ancient and rigid usage, in Latin: for the perfect familiarity with Latin, which would enable the audience to follow an unbroken Lecture in that language, was by no means general, especially among the younger students. The subject of my Lectures was the History of Greek Poetry. Since that time (between thirty and forty years ago) the Histories of Greek Poetry by Bode, Ulrici, above all the great work of Otfried Muller (translated by the late lamented Sir G. Cornewall Lewis), and the History of Greek Literature by our accomplished countryman, my friend Colonel Mure, had not appeared. Conscious of the deficiencies of my own Sketch, I have consigned my Lectures with unaverted eyes to the flames. The Translations, however, I was not quite so easily content to part with.

Download or read book The Agamemnon of Aeschylus written by David Raeburn and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2011-11-18 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This commentary discusses Aeschylus' play Agamemnon (458 BC), which is one of the most popular of the surviving ancient Greek tragedies, and is the first to be published in English since 1958. It is designed particularly to help students who are tackling Aeschylus in the original Greek for the first time, and includes a reprint of D. L. Page's Oxford Classical Text of the play. The introduction defines the place of Agamemnon within the Oresteia trilogy as a whole, and the historical context in which the plays were produced. It discusses Aeschylus' handling of the traditional myth and the main ideas which underpin his overall design: such as the development of justice and the nature of human responsibility; and it emphasizes how the power of words, seen as ominous speech-acts which can determine future events, makes a central contribution to the play's dramatic momentum. Separate sections explore Aeschylus' use of theatrical resources, the role of the chorus, and the solo characters. Finally there is an analysis of Aeschylus' distinctive poetic style and use of imagery, and an outline of the transmission of the play from 458 BC to the first printed editions.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Agamemnon: Translated From AEschylus In one passage indeed she alleges a pretext for the murder of Agamemnon in his consent to the sacrifice of their daughter Iphigeneia, at the instance of the prophet Calchas, who had declared that a virgin's blood could alone release the wind-bound fleet of the Greek heroes in the harbour of Aulis; but the pre text hardly rises in gravity to a plea of self defence. It is rather a bitter sarcasm thrown out against her murdered husband by one who is indifferent alike to its acceptance or rejection.

Download or read book The Agamemnon of schylus written by John Fletcher Davies and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Agamemnon of AEschylus: Revised and Translated By a 'literal' Translation the Editor means one which follows the construction of the Greek. With the exception of minor points, such as 'myto' hush!' and the passages which could not be literally rendered in any idiomatic prose version this professes to be a literal translation. Of course the ordinary and well known deviations from the Greek to the English idiom are systematically made. A peculiarity of the English language is its neglect of connecting particles between the periods. The logical connexion is always defined in Greek by the proper par ticles; in English the reader is nearly always left to discover it without assistance. The participle and finite verb usually become two finite verbs. The aorist participle is most frequently rendered by the English present. The present and imperfect tenses with a word of time must be translated by the perfect and pluperfect with 'been', thus: 'i have been asking'. The force of 75p in a monostichia may be given by other words besides 'for'. The gnomic aorist, as it is called, should always be turned into the present. Sometimes the Greek idiom prefers the singular number, while the English demands the plural; and vice versa. In the use of 'you' and 'thou' the translator must be guided by the tone of the passage, and the earnestness of the speaker; but, in general, the former is to be preferred. And so on. Without the observance of these and other idioms the Translation could not have passed even for English prose with poetic licenses. Where words are supplied for the sake of the metre they are written in italics, and care has been taken to use such words as would merely help to put the idea more clearly without adding to or subtracting from the sense or colouring of the sentence. Such words as are implied in the Greek but not expressed are not distinguished by italics. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Agamemnon of Aeschylus: A Revised Text and a Translation I have prayed the Gods for respite from these toils through the length of my year's watch, while, bedded on the roof of the Atreidae, from my bended arm I watch like a dog the assem blage of the stars of night, those that bring winter and summer to mortals, bright lords gleaming in the sky, - the stars I mean, their settings and their risings. And now I am watch ing for the signal of the torch, the gleam of fire that is to bring news from Troy and tidings of her capture; for so commands a. Woman's manly counselling hopeful heart. But While I keep this night-wandering dewy bed, not visited by dreams, - this bed of mine, for fear is my companion in place of sleep, so that I cannot close my eyes steadily in slumber, - and when I please to sing or hum, taking this medicine of song to keep off sleep, then I weep, bewailing the calamitie'emof this house, which is not as of yore ordered for the best. And now I pray that a happy release from my toils may come, by the signal fire appearing with good tidings through the gloom of night.
