Synopsis

Aeschylus was the first of the three ancient Greek tragedians whose plays can still be read or performed, the others being Sophocles and Euripides. He is often described as the father of tragedy: our knowledge of the genre begins with his work and our understanding of earlier tragedies is largely based on inferences from his surviving plays. Only seven of his estimated seventy to ninety plays have survived into modern times.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Aeschylus was one of the foundational dramatists of ancient Greece and is widely regarded as a central figure in the development of Greek tragedy. Writing in the fifth century BCE, he helped shape the dramatic form that would influence Sophocles, Euripides, Roman tragedy, Renaissance theatre, and the later European literary tradition. His surviving plays are marked by solemn grandeur, moral conflict, religious seriousness, and a powerful sense of human beings caught between divine law, political authority, and fate. Works traditionally attributed to Aeschylus include The Persians, Seven Against Thebes, The Suppliants, the Oresteia, and Prometheus Bound.
