Brill ́s Companion to the Reception of Aeschylus explores the various ways Aeschylus ́ tragedies have been discussed, parodied, translated, revisioned, adapted, and integrated into other works over the course of the last 2500 years. Immensely popular while alive, Aeschylus ́ reception begins in his own lifetime. And, while he has not been the most reproduced of the three Attic tragedians on the stage since then, his receptions have transcended genre and crossed to nearly every continent. While still engaging with Aeschylus ́ theatrical reception, the volume also explores Aeschylus off the stage--in radio, the classroom, television, political theory, philosophy, science fiction and beyond.… (altro)
Completing its series on the reception of the three Attic tragedians, Brill’s Companion to the Reception of Aeschylus is a welcome addition. Perhaps the volume’s greatest strength is its capacious definition of reception, which editor Rebecca Futo Kennedy defines in her brief introduction (pp. 1–5) as “a combination of explorations of receptions and acts of reception. The idea behind it is to provide some insights into the myriad ways that Aeschylus has been received into the world since his first productions since the early 5th century” (p. 1). The virtue of this generously broad definition is evinced by the companion’s inclusion of traditionally overlooked aspects of Aeschylean reception.
