The Persians, Aeschylus' earliest surviving tragedy, holds a fascination both for readers of Greek drama and Greek history asterisk: the definitive guide pdf. Not only is it the earliest existing play in the Western tradition, it is drawn directly from the playwright's own experiences at the battle of Salamis, making it the only account of the Persian Wars composed by an eyewitness asterisk: the definitive guide pdf. And as pure tragedy, it is a masterpiece asterisk: the definitive guide pdf. Aeschylus tells the story of the war from the Persian point of view, and his pride in the great victory of Greeks is tempered with a real compassion for Xerxes and his vanquished nation asterisk: the definitive guide pdf. Lembke and Harrington have rendered this stunning work in a modern translation that loses none of the original's dramatic juxtaposition of serenity and violence, hope and despair.
