«Tragedias» is the volume of tragedies by Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides, published by Orbis in paperback (239 pages, in Spanish).
It brings together three tragedies of Greek theatre: «Agamenón», by Aeschylus; «Edipo Rey», by Sophocles; and «Hipólito», by Euripides. In them, fate, justice and human passions intersect, with characters dragged along by tragic decisions.
Volume 44 of the Historia Universal de la Literatura collection, with translation by Francisco Rodríguez Adrados.
For readers interested in classical theatre and Greco-Latin literature.
Aeschylus was an ancient Greek tragedian, often described as the father of tragedy. Academic knowledge of the genre begins with his work, and understanding of earlier Greek tragedy is largely based on inferences made from reading his surviving plays. According to Aristotle, he expanded the number of characters in the theatre and allowed conflict among them. Formerly, characters interacted only with the chorus.
