"Never surely can a great tragedy seem more real to us, or purge our souls more truly of the unreality of our thoughts and feelings concerning vital issues, then can 'The Trojan Women' at this moment in the history of the world.

Hardcover. First edition. 2 p.l., 7-89, [1] p. 19 cm. Translated into English Rhyming verse with Introduction and Notes. "Seven Against Thebes" is the third and only surviving play from a tetralogy Aeschylus entered in the Great Dionysia. The tetralogy follows the cursed Theban patriarchy headed by Laius--the focus of the first tragedy--his son Oedipus--the focus of the second tragedy--and Oedipus's sons, Eteocles and Polyneices, featured in "Seven Against Thebes". Eteocles, the reigning King of Thebes, must defend his city against his own brother Polyneices, who, in concert with Adrastus, the King of Argos, plans to invade Thebes and claim the throne. Before battle, the seven invading captains choose lots to determine which of the seven Theban gates to attack. A messenger delivers each announcement to Eteocles, who sends one of his own men to defend the gate. The last announcement names Polyneices as the final invading captain, pitting him against his own brother, Eteocles. The two brothers take up arms against each other and both are killed during the successful defense of the city. Good. No dust jacket. Top edge soiled.

Hardcover. Reprint. 11th printing, 1942. xi, 105 p.; 20 cm. This was translated into English rhyming verse with explanatory notes. Murray, Regius Professor of Greek in the University of Oxford has translated The Iphigenia in Tauris into English rhyming verse with explanatory notes. The play is not in the modern sense a tragedy, it is a romantic drama, beginning in a tragic atmosphere and moving through perils and escapes to a happy end. The story tells of Iphigenia who is sacrificed by her father to the goddess Artemis. At the last moment she is saved from death by Artemis, but is then set down in the land of Tauri to be her priestess, where all strangers cast on their shores are sacrificed in a savage ritual. Iphigenia, obedient to her goddess, and held by the spell of the altar, had to consecrate the victims, all of whom were Barbarians, as they went to be slaughtered. She waited in half in horror and half in revenge to sacrifice a Greek. When one arrives, it turns out to be her brother Orestes, although she doesn't know this at first. The recognition scene between Iphigenia and Orestes became a model to Aristotle. While not of the same order as Euripides' The Trojan Women, Iphigenia is a delightful play. Good in good dust jacket. DJ has some wear and soiling, edge tears and chips. Top edge soiled.

Olden was a prominent lawyer and journalist of the Weimar Republic, deeply opposed to the rise of National Socialism in Germany. He fled Germany the day after the Reichstag fire in 1933, under threat of arrest by the Nazis. He was invited to lecture at Oxford University by scholar and public intellectual Gilbert Murray, who provided a cottage for Olden. Olden spent some five years at Oxford, where he wrote Is Germany as a Hopeless Case? as a warning to the British public of the dangers of Nazism. When war broke out, he was interned in an improvised camp near Southampton. He was subsequently invited to New York by the New School of Social Studies. Olden accepted. As he left Britain, he watched as his passport was stamped 'No Return'. The ship he was travelling on, which was carrying evacuated children among other passengers, was torpedoed by the Germans, Goebbels claiming it had been targeted because Olden was on board. Olden and his wife were killed. Is Germany a Hopeless Case?, the only one of his works to be published in English in the first instance, has become influential. An important work.
