Item description from seller

New York: Viking Press, 1975. First edition. First printing. Hardcover. Black cloth with gilt and red spine lettering. Fine in a near fine dust jacket with no printed price on the front flap, a copy likely issued for export only or as part of a small academic press run, as was sometimes done by Viking for scholarly titles, to be sticker priced at point of sale. (No book club indicators are present, and binding and production conform to trade first edition standards). Jacket shows only the faintest rubbing. Comes with archival-quality mylar dust jacket protector. A tight clean copy. Endpapers and illustrations by Sylvia Allman, whose designs evoke the style of ancient Greek vase painting. Octavo, 343 pages. Aeschylus’s The Oresteia, translated by Robert Fagles with an introduction by W.B. Stanford, presents Agamemnon, The Libation Bearers, and The Eumenides in a modern poetic idiom that became a touchstone of American classics publishing. Fagles would later earn acclaim for his bestselling translations of The Iliad and The Odyssey.…
