Am I just a dumb motherfucker or is Aeschylus a much tougher read than Sophocles or Euripides?
>>25256000>is forgettable side content copingyes
>>25256000Aeschylus can be very ambiguous with his language, such that people still debate the meaning of certain passages. But in terms of translation I've heard that Sophocles offers the greatest difficulties.
>>25256000Aeschylus is the most primitive in structure of the three. His plays are basically choruses with some actors performing between them as opposed to choruses commenting on the main action of the play Ala Sophocles and Euripides. Also Aeschylus is widely regarded as having deeper messages than the other two. Example, Prometheus Bound is a metaphor for monism (the eyes that see not and the ears that hear not- a line which also appears in Parmenides) and learning to look past the sensory world to achieve gnosis.
>>25256018I have Richard Jebb’s Sophocles and it’s very straightforward. Aeschylus is like walking through a landmine compared to that.
>>25256000¿Por que no los dos?
>>25256000From what i’ve read aeschlyus does make more frequent use of stichomythia than do euripides or socrates make use of stichomythia in their compositions and text
