Bühnenbearbeitung Äschyleischer Tragödien. Erster Teil. Zweiter Teil. - BÖHME, R.,

KORTE INHOUD

'Dr. Böhme (...) suggests that when a later poet (...) received from the archon a chorus for a play of Aeschylus he rewrote it in up-to-date style, so that it might compete on level terms with the works of contemporaries. Accordingly the 'Oresteia', as we have it, is a rewriting, perhaps the last of several, for a performance between 408 and 405, and profoundly influenced by the Electra plays of Sophocles and of Eurpides.' (...) Böhme is not moved only by stylistic considerations in the narrower sense, though much of his argument turns on details of usage. He has an intense conviction that Aeschylus was a poet inspired, continuously sublime, moving only on the heights - or in the depths - of Orphic-Eleusinian religion.' (D.W. LUCAS in The Classical Review (New Series), 1960. pp.198-99). From the library of the late Sir Kenneth James Dover.
