Greek Tragedy III: The Persians, Or Aeschylus Kicks You When You’re Down (Or Does He?)
In this episode, we look at Aeschylus's The Persians. I used the really old Robert Potter translation that's available on classics.mit.edu. You can, of course, use whichever translation is easily available to you.
