The Agamemnon of Aeschylus. Translated into English Verse.
Westminster: Archibald Constable & Co., Ltd., 1904. First Edition. 12mo, viii, 68 pages, publisher's original gilt-lettered green cloth covered boards. Edges remain uncut and unopened. The Agamemnon of Aeschylus: Translated into English Verse is a 1904 rendering of one of the great tragedies of classical Greek literature, translated by Edward Thring and published by A. Constable and Co., Ltd., Westminster. A slim volume of 68 pages, it presents Aeschylus’s Agamemnon in English verse, reflecting the early 20th-century taste for literary translations of the Greek dramatists intended for both students and general readers of classical literature. As such, it belongs to the tradition of Edwardian classical scholarship and translation, and it remains of interest to collectors of Aeschylus, Greek tragedy, classical studies, and finely produced early modern translations of ancient texts. Spine sunned and other discoloration to the cloth. Some spotting foxing, else in very good + condition. Item #245
