Aeschylus: Libation Bearers
Bloomsbury Academic (Verlag)
978-1-4742-5507-3 (ISBN)
Libation Bearers immediately entered the Athenian visual imagination, influencing artistic depictions on red-figured vases, and inspiring plays by Euripides and Sophocles. This study looks to the later plays to show how 5th-century audiences understood Libation Bearers. Modern reception of the play is integrated into the analysis. The volume includes a full range of ancillary material, providing a list of relevant red-figure vase illustrations, a glossary of technical terms, and a chronology of ancient and modern theatrical versions.
C. W. Marshall is Professor of Greek at the University of British Columbia, in Vancouver, Canada.
