Ted Hughes's "acting version" of the trilogy of Aeschylus' plays known as The Oresteia, a classical work of astonishing power, is quickly becoming the standard edition for English-language readers and for the stage, too.
Review:
"[T]his vivid free-verse translation of Aeschylus' dark and bloody tragic trilogy...evinces Hughes's wide range of interests and mastery of classic literatures....[A]n essential further installment in the always interesting oeuvre of a gifted poet who was also a diligent scholar."
Kirkus, 06/01/1999
Review:"The problem is not that Hughes adapts or adds to the poem....But Hughes's changes move out and away from the text rather than deeper into it."
Garry Wills, New York Times Book Review, 09/05/1999

The Oresteia of Aeschylus: A New Translation by Ted Hughes (Paperback) (ISBN: 9780374527051) Aeschylus Quantity Available: 10
Book Description: Farrar Straus Giroux, 2000. Paperback. Book Condition: New. First. 238 x 133 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. In the last year of his life, Ted Hughes completed translations of three major dramatic works: Racine's "Phedre," Euripedes' "Alcestis," and the trilogy of plays known as at "The"Oresteia," a family story of astonishing power and the background or inspiration for much subsequent drama, fiction, and poetry. "The Oresteia"--Agamemnon, Choephori, and the Eumenides--tell the story of the house of Atreus: After King Agamemnon is murdered by his wife, Clytemnestra, their son, Orestes, is commanded by Apollo to avenge the crime by killing his mother, and he returns from exile to do so, bringing on himself the wrath of the Furies and the judgment of the court of Athens. Hughes's "acting version" of the trilogy is faithful to its nature as a dramatic work, and his translation is itself a great performance; while artfully inflected with the contemporary, it has a classical beauty and authority. Hughes's "Oresteia" is quickly becoming the standard edition for English-language readers and for the stage, too.
