The major part of Conacher's work is a detailed running commentary on, and dramatic analysis of, the three plays. It is supplemented in notes and appendixes by discussions of the philological problems relevant to the interpretation, and by a sampling of other scholaraly views on a number of controversial points.

Das Buch enthält eine vergleichende Interpretation der beiden Tragödien, die Euripides am Ende seines Lebens (gest. 406 v. Chr.) verfasst hat. Es wird versucht, die Parallelen beider Werke in Handlungsablauf, dramaturgischem Konzept und Aussageabsicht aufzuzeigen. Dies ermöglicht es, das umstrittene Problem zu lösen, mit welchen Intentionen der Dichter die zumeist als "rätselhaft" empfundenen 'Bakchen' verfasste. Aufgrund des Vergleiches erweist sich das Stück als ein politisches Dokument, das die unauflösliche Problematik einer Ethik, die auf Rache und Vergeltung beruht, zeigt und die Grenzen deutlich macht, die dem Theater als gesellschaftlicher Institution gesetzt sind.

This is the only general introduction in English to Aeschylus' Oresteia, one of the most important and most influential of all Greek dramas. It discusses the Greek drama festival and the social and political background of Greek tragedy, and offers a reading of this central trilogy. Simon Goldhill focuses on the play's themes of justice, sexual politics, violence, and the position of man within culture, and explores how Aeschylus constructs a myth for the city in which he lived. A final chapter considers the influence of the Oresteia on later theatre. Its clear structure and guide to further reading will make this an invaluable guide for students and teachers alike.

This book is concerned with the complexity and difficulty of reading the Oresteia. It is not a traditional commentary, although it is often concerned with problems of interpretation and language, nor is it simply what is generally understood by a literary study, although it often discusses the wider themes of the narrative. It is a close reading of the text concentrating on the developing meanings of words within the structuring of the play. In particular, Simon Goldhill focuses on the text's interests in language and its control, in sexuality and sexual difference, and in the progression and description of events. Dr Goldhill links a sound philological knowledge with material drawn widely from modern literary theory and anthropological studies. The result is a challenging and provocative book, which offers for the serious student of Greek drama an exciting range of insights into one of the most important texts of the ancient world.
