The Greek Plays
by Ellen Mclaughlin
Synopsis
"Defeat is impossible Defeat is unthinkable We have always been the favorites of fate.
Fortune has cupped us In her golden palms.
It has only been a matter Of choosing our desire.
Which fruit To pick from the nodding tree."
This chilling passage is from Ellen McLaughlin's new adaptation of "The Persians "by Aeschylus, the earliest surviving play in Western literature, an elegy for a fallen civi-lization and a warning to its new conqueror.
