Æschylos. The text of the second edition, which was carefully revised by the translator, has been followed and the Dean's annotations have been included.In translating the Choral Odes the Dean used such unrhymed metres as seemed to him most analogous in their general rhythmical effect to those of the original, but in order to meet a freely expressed wish he added a rhymed version of the Choral Odes and chief lyrical dialogues in an appendix.The brackets [] indicate lines which are looked upon by one or more critics of repute as spurious, and an asterisk (*) the more prominent passages in which the text is so uncertain, or the construction so difficulty, that the rendering must be looked upon as, at best, somewhat doubtful. The numerals refer to the Greek text, not to the translation.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
