Excerpt from The Persae of Aeschylus: Edited With Introduction, Notes, and a Map
Though this is not a critical edition, the text has been carefully revised, and the editor has endeavoured to call attention to 0 every passage where the reading given differs from that of the Medicean ms. Otherwise than in points of accent, orthography, or punctuation, shewing to whom the alteration is due. His information as to the readings of the mss. Is derived from Hermann's edition of Aeschylus and from Merkel's transcript of the Medicean ms. This ms. Has been re ferred to by its usual symbol M; others are mentioned only in general terms. In the nu meration of lines, and doubtless in many other points, Dindorf's Oxford edition of 1852 has been followed. The Scholia are quoted from Dindorf's Oxford edition.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is an ancient Greek tragedy, believed to be written around 470 BC, that explores profound themes of war, power, and the hubris of man. It is set at the Persian capital of Susa, where a chorus of Persian elders awaits news of the vast Persian army that has been sent to conquer Greece. When a messenger arrives bearing news of a disastrous defeat at the Battle of Salamis, the Persians are plunged into despair and mourning. The play delves deeply into the nature of human suffering, the futility of war, and the inevitable consequences of unchecked ambition. Through its exploration of these timeless themes, this book offers valuable insights into the human condition and the destructive power of unchecked pride.
