More Praise for the Poochigian Aeschylus

Submitted by Aaron Poochigian on Fri, 02/17/2012 - 19:56

"Persians, a new translation by the American scholar and poet Aaron Poochigian, does a fine job maintaining the gravitas of Greek tragedy with just enough contemporary rhythm and idiom to allow the ancient work to work for a modern audience."

Performance of Aaron's translation of Aeschylus' "Persians"

I would like to thank the good city of Perth, Australia not only for hosting upcoming performances of my translation of Aeschylus' "Persians" but also for giving the English language another "-erth" rhyme (there was a dearth).
