    Industry Reviews
    "Ted Hughes's free-verse ORESTEIA, posthumously published, stands to Aeschylus roughly as Pope's ILIAD does to Homer. It has that kind of dependence and that kind of autonomy, both reusing and changing phrases, images, whole speeches; and though unlikely to be thought of in quite the same breath as Pope's version, it is, at its best, the most powerful and compelling English version of Greek tragedy in existence."

    I never received this book. Had I received, I probably would have given it a better review...and the sender had e-mailed me a confirmation, and I never got the book.
