Classic bilingual collection. The Suppliants tells the lyrical story of fifty unfortunate daughters of Danaus who, to escape forced marriage to their Egyptian cousins, find refuge in the sanctuary of Hera in Argolis. Through their evasion and the blood of the suitors' murder, the supplicants will not produce glorious lineages, with the exception of Hypermnestra, who disobeys his father. In this tragedy, Aeschylus, not without a certain ambiguity, poses the fundamental question of marriage and law as a social foundation.
