"The Staging of Aeschylus' Persians, Seven Against Thebes and Suppliants" is an attempt both to reconstruct the original staging for the earliest three complete Greek tragedies that have come down to us and to translate the form and content of the originals as accurately as the English language and English verse-forms allow. To set up standards of authenticity for the stagings and translations, the first chapter surveys the earliest evidence for the reception of Aeschylus, focusing on three major sources: parodies in the tragedies of Euripides, the pseudo-Aeschylean Prometheus Bound, and references in the comedies of Aristophanes. In the second chapter, on the Persians, it is shown that the playwright removes the Ghost-raising scene from the otherwise consistent setting and continuous plot-development by (1) providing no preparation for or subsequent reference to the raising of Darius and (2) mysteriously introducing a foreign element (the tomb of Darius) into an otherwise consistent setting. The third chapter on the Seven Against Thebes reclaims six mute actors who had been banished from the stage on account of an alleged "insufficiency of evidence in the text." The fourth chapter determines the size of the original cast for The Suppliant Maidens and reconstructs the original staging. Literary and performable translations are included, which preserve formal breaks and distinctions (i.e. metrical responsion within the choral ode).
