jpegging 's review for:
An Oresteia
by Euripides, Aeschylus, Sophocles
"Not to me, not if it's you," hits different in context, huh.
Anne Carson is a brilliant translator, and her introductions are indispensable for how she understands and finds herself mystified by the characters. The women of "An Oresteia" are elevated, sympathetic as they are destructive, keeping Carson's voice as she wrangles the styles of three different playwrights to tell a story that is as wonderfully modern as it is lovingly Greek.
