The text offers a new perspective on this powerful work, addressing literary, dramatic, and cultural aspects of the ancient Greek context. Ideal for students and academics interested in classical literature and Greek theater.
Aeschylus was an ancient Greek tragedian, often described as the father of tragedy. Academic knowledge of the genre begins with his work, and understanding of earlier Greek tragedy is largely based on inferences made from reading his surviving plays. According to Aristotle, he expanded the number of characters in the theatre and allowed conflict among them. Formerly, characters interacted only with the chorus.
