sdi: Oil painting of the Heliconian Muse whispering inspiration to Hesiod. (Default)

I've a few transcriptions for you all, today: Æschylus's Oresteia trilogy, concerning the fall and redemption of the house of Atreus. Apparently Æschylus was put on trial for revealing the mysteries in his plays; I can see why, though it's veiled enough that one would have to already be familiar with the mysteries to be sure. (I suppose that's why he was acquitted.)

You can find the PDFs as follows:

These are all transcribed from the Loeb Classics edition, which is a little stodgy but easier to read than others I've come across. As always, these are in the public domain.
