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

5.0

awesome. the first two plays are excellent, and then the euripedes just gets bonkers, which is kind of amazing to watch. now if carson could just spend the next 25 years or so translating the greeks, i could get myself to read them all. and be very happy about it. (yes, i realize that perhaps it is not the most strictly word-for-word correct translation of these plays, but you know what? now i've read them and enjoyed them and understand what the hell just happened. the story was conveyed expertly. for my money (esp. because it's not poetry) that's what i want--to be excited about it.)
