Summary: Various stories make or break Lattimore's translations
Comment: Lattimore does a good translation of several greek tragedies in this book. The book is great in terms of the stories that are presented, especially Oedipus the King. Oedipus is THE example of the perfect Greek tragedy. It is moving, ironic, and sad combined into a play. However, the same could not be said for Agamemnon; which is not only dull in reading, but also long and pointless in plot and storyline. Any sense of emotions and feeling is completly deprived in Aeschylus's play. Overall, it is a good book and reflects upon the early writers and their beliefs of tragedy.
