Achilles act 3 with added final speech
https://librivox.org/uploads/toddhw/iphigenia_achilles_3.mp3
I notice that the translator finishes with a rhyming couplet as was traditional in blank verse drama

I also noticed that he makes some lines rhyme, and I actually love that. Didn't know it was a tradition though.alanmapstone wrote: ↑June 3rd, 2021, 1:03 amAchilles act 3 with added final speech

Normally blank verse does not rhyme but rhyming couples are used at the end of scenes or speeches to give a sense of closure.Kitty wrote: ↑June 3rd, 2021, 2:30 amI also noticed that he makes some lines rhyme, and I actually love that.

May I claim Doris?
(I am sure the names are all actually place- and period-authentic, but somehow having a Doris in there with Clytemnaestra, Iphigenia, Erpihyle, and Aegina feels incongruous, rather as though a cast list should include Dulcinea, Florimel, Araminta, and Jane...)

Back from a low-internet no-Librivox year in Georgia. Glad to be with you again.
A name like Doris probably means she is exotic....
Thanks, Todd
