“Non devo essere troppo attaccata alla
vita:
mi hai messa al mondo per tutti i Greci,
non per me soltanto.”

Addressing specifically the translation by Merwin. After reading several of this set, this is one of the better of this Arrowsmith series. So far only bested by Anne Carson’s work on Elektra. Would love to see it staged.

Not a translation that starts with much poetic merit, but one that is utterly readable and easy to follow, and becomes absolutely riveting in the scenes after Clytemnestra finds out Agamemnon's plan. Iphigenia's pre-sacrifice speeches read like Joan of Arc at the pyre, and they're thrilling.
