Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Sophocles, Vol. 4: The Plays and Fragments With Critical Notes, Commentary, and Translation in English Prose; The Philoctetes
The general impression made on Dion's mind by the play of Aeschylus was that of a simplicity and dignity suitable to ideal Tragedy. It had an austere grandeur of diction and of sentiment which sustained the characters on the heroic levell; though in some respects the management of the plot was open to the cavils of a more critical and more prosaic age.
