Suppliant Maidens (Morshead Translation)
The Suppliant Maidens, also known as The Suppliant Women, is a play by Aeschylus, likely first performed after 470 BC. The drama features the Danaids, who flee from forced marriages to their Egyptian cousins and seek refuge with King Pelasgus of Argos. The play explores themes of asylum and protection, culminating in the Argive people's decision to support the Danaids against their pursuers. This work is notable for its portrayal of the chorus as central to the narrative, marking a significant aspect of Aeschylus' evolving style.
