A review by luckthelady
An Oresteia by Euripides, Aeschylus, Sophocles

4.0

Far cleverer people have reviewed this book than me. Suffice it to say that this is not a standard Oresteia, more a shift in perspective of the same characters in the same tragic event as it progresses into time and bleeds into more lives, scene by painful scene.

What Anne Carson does here is breathe vivid, wriggling, mischievous life into these three tales. It was worth doing.
