An Oresteia by Euripides, Aeschylus, Sophocles

challenging informative reflective medium-paced

5.0

Brian Kulick‘s brilliant idea of tracing the portrayal of a mythic pursuit of justice as it evolved over the course of Ancient Greek history paid off beautifully in this book. Aided by Anne Carson’s ever-Illuminative commentary, this anthology highlights the tragedians’ different views of justice and draws their stylistic differences into stark contrast. As always after reading Anne Carson’s commentary, I wish I could listen to her lecture, take her classes, and absorb her way of thinking.
