The Oresteia Trilogy (Unabridged English Translation)

Aeschylus Aeschylus

Sinopse

This carefully crafted ebook: "The Oresteia Trilogy (Unabridged English Translation)" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. The trilogy known as The Oresteia, consists of the three tragedies Agamemnon, The Libation Bearers and The Eumenides. This trilogy of plays, written a number of years B.C.E., dramatizes one of the earliest, most culturally significant myths of Ancient Greek civilization—how a series of revenge/power-motivated murders in the family of King Agamemnon of Mycenae eventually leads to the establishment of democratic justice. One of the few surviving complete examples of Classical Greek drama, the trilogy is populated by archetypal characters, whose actions explore themes relating to the nature and purpose of revenge, and the relationship between humanity and spirituality (the gods). Aeschylus was the earliest of the great Greek tragedians and the principal creator of Greek drama. He is called the 'Father of Tragedy'.

But in this volume we do put forward others who have their own words and voice to add to this rich tapestry.  Wilfred Owen, Henry Vaughan, George Herbert and Edward Thomas amongst them.

A Freelancer’s Nightmare - A...

Short Story Press, Isaiah Atabo

Her father left them when she was just 5. Now in her early 20's Lucy knew better than to concentrate on her academics alone. She did every menial job she could lay her hands upon so as to support herself and (hopefully) relieve the burden on her mother...she did this despite the fact that her mum was against her being a student-worker.
The problem, however, was not her mum, rather, the jobs were taking much of her time and weren't bringing much to the table, so she switched from job to job. She was glad when her friend, Julia, introduced her to freelancing on Upwork.
Julia helped got her account approved and taught her how to send winning proposals. It wasn't long before Lucy started landing jobs, but if only she knew the fate that awaited her.
She gets hooked up again with a client for whom she previously wrote a romance novel. Apparently, the client wanted her to help turn the novel into a movie, which was good news because it meant more money and popularity.
But unfortunately, the client wasn't whom she thought he was. He had ulterior motives, the job was only a lure. It wasn't long before Lucy discovered she had fallen into the hands of an organized network of human traffickers.
