This is the translator’s note to Aeschylus’ Oresteia, performed May-June 2014 at the Greek Theatre in Syracuse. In Aeschylus’ style formal simplicity, which eschews artifice and affectation, is tightly interwoven with an arduous conceptual and imaginative density. The hand-to-hand fight that the poet engages with words challenges the translator, who must try to convey the variety of the registers – low and high, learned and proverbial, poetic and prosaic – in modern performance.

Abstract

This is the translator’s note to Aeschylus’ Oresteia, performed May-June 2014 at the Greek Theatre in Syracuse. In Aeschylus’ style formal simplicity, which eschews artifice and affectation, is tightly interwoven with an arduous conceptual and imaginative density. The hand-to-hand fight that the poet engages with words challenges the translator, who must try to convey the variety of the registers – low and high, learned and proverbial, poetic and prosaic – in modern performance.
