Aeschylus, 2: The Persians, Seven Against Thebes, The Suppliants, Prometheus Bound (Penn Greek Drama Series)

The anachronisms and cursing weren’t all that. But the herald that could recite the whole telephone book, was. “Persians” takes these positions: history is written by the winners; art is made by the intended audience; the structural conventions of Greek plays are weird. I liked this book.
