Aeschylus

Excerpt from Aeschylus
This Translation of Aeschylus, - an entirely new one, - is designed as an Appendix to my edition of that Poet in the Bibliotheca Classica.
In some respects, an author's meaning and the connexion of his ideas are more satisfactorily conveyed by a translation, giving the context entire, than by notes, rendering only occasional words and phrases. I am not without hope that this book will be found acceptable to those students who are willing to use, not to abuse it; for to turn the verses, and especially the choral verses, of a poet so figurative and obscure as Aeschylus into anything like readable prose, really is a very difficult task.
