Recenzii

Civil war, fratricide, a city under siege and women in mortal terror – these are the themes of Aeschylus’ Seven Against Thebes, a tragedy that Aeschylus himself (or at least his persona in Aristophanes’ comedy, Frogs) boasted was "full of Ares" or martial spirit. This volume takes account of recent research on ancient warfare and of the intimate connection between war and Greek tragedy, which continues to speak to veterans’ experiences today. The chapters bring important new perspectives to this undeservedly neglected masterpiece.
- David Konstan, Professor of Classics, New York University, USA
 
Aeschylus and War is a salutary reminder that Seven against Thebes must be understood in the martial context from which it draws its inspiration. Moreover, it is to be hoped that this useful and thought-provoking collection of papers will help to rekindle critical interest in a great and difficult work, which has for too long been condemned to brood sublimely in relative neglect.
- N. J. Sewell-Rutter, Oxford, UK, in the Bryn Mawr Classical Review
