Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

This book "guides the general reader into a dialogue" with Aeschylean drama and Athenian history circa 507-458 B.C. Three chapters on Aeschylus' times, his "world vision," and the early Athenian theater (oddly quiet about the Greater Dionysiac Festival itself), prepare for detailed studies of the seven extant plays. Eminent in his field, Herington is best at setting each play within the context of the four-play performance, at incorporating fragments from lost plays, and at tracing broad themes of Aeschylean dramaturgy: male/female, city/clan polarities, movement from the human to the divine plane, etc. In his insistence upon Aeschylus' contemporary concerns, however, he ignores mythic structures formative in Greek culture at least since the time of Hesiod 200 years earlier. Stephen Scully, Classical Studies Dept., Boston Univ.
