To avoid hubris and disrespect, let me confess that the ancestral god Apollo (since I happen to be an Asclepiad) has given me the boldness filters I requested in the Prologue of the Choephori, and the good fortune of health and strength to translate the Eumenides, the third work of the poet's trilogy.

The Eumenides present the same translation difficulties as the Choephori (which I briefly mentioned in their Prologue), although I believe that the comparison of difficulties is always subjective and, as such, of limited value. At the same time, I consider that these difficulties constitute a challenge and a test of the translation ability of anyone undertaking a similar endeavor.

Aeschylus, and particularly the "Oresteia," will remain, in my opinion, the criterion of the adequacy of the modern Greek language, and thus every new translation effort, adapted to the spoken language of its time, will test the possibilities of its lexical richness, with the necessary condition that it will also demonstrate the continuity of the unified Greek language, with the history of three or more millennia.
