Here is a link to a PDF of my latest effort in essay writing, give it a read! Anywho, thought it would be interesting, especially the last two paragraphs in which the role of gods are characterized in Aeschylus, then juxtaposed with Euripides. I found Euripides to be more realistic, but also quite challenging for various reasons, see what you think. Please have an opinion.
If you want eminently readable translations of the tragedies and the comedy involved then flick me an email and I can hook you up with some more pdf's.
(also, I have spent some time on the grammar and spelling, but if you notice anything then notify me; semi colons are still something I am trying to utilize properly.)
My professor called it "...a marvelously sympathetic and intelligent approach fostered by careful reading..." so it's good :)
