Agamemnon

Finished Persians by Aeschylus translated by James Romm.
Xerxes: Rend your gathered robe with the tips of your fingers.
Chorus: Agony, agony.

“By now the royal, city-sacking host
has crossed the straits and gone to lands adjacent,
linking with hemp-bound raft the gap that Helle swam,
throwing a many-bolted yoke on the neck of the sea, a new roadway”.

Persians. Translation by James Romm

Finished the preface and general introduction
