November 8, 2009 - 6:00 pmPersians: by Aeschylus, Translated by Stratos Constantinidis
Location: For specific times and locations, please visit link.Performances from November 8 to 20.
The Persians are coming to Ohio State this November. This award winning classical Greek tragedy is the first play in the world to survive intact from antiquity. It was written by Aeschylus, a veteran of the Greek-Persian Wars, and was produced by Pericles of Athens in 472 B.C.E. The play reports on the naval battle at Salamis that caused the single greatest loss of human life in recorded history up to that time. Or, as Aeschylus put it in Ancient Greek, "Remember this well, never in one day has such a great number of human beings died." This play, translated into English by Stratos E. Constantinidis, shows how the Homeland Security Council of the Persian Empire accepted the news of the defeat that stopped its colonial expansion.
