The volume brings together the complete tragedies of Aeschylus, the Greek playwright considered the creator of tragedy. His tragic works, with characters and conflicts born from Greek mythology, are a gateway to the origins of Western theater and to the themes that structure universal classical literature.
Volume 18 of Altaya's Clásicos de la Literatura Universal collection. Edition and translation by José Alsina Clota, from the Greek. Includes bibliography (pp. 25-27). Published in 1995.
Suitable for students and enthusiasts of classical drama, universal literature and Greek mythology.
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.
