| Short biography |
Aeschylus was an ancient Greek playwright, the earliest of the Greek tragedians whose plays survive extant. He is credited with an estimated 92 written plays, although only seven have survived into modern times. He is known to have fought at the Battle of Marathon, which influenced his "Persians," the only surviving tragedy based on contemporary events. | |

Combine with…
What?
Q: What is this feature for/why is it necessary?
A: Because LibraryThing draws from so many different libraries, it can't enforce a single name for a given author. "Also known as"
lets LibraryThing users combine author's names easily,
so collections match up and everything runs smoothly.
Q: Can I combine with an author not suggested above?
A: Yes you can.
Q: I know an author is separate, but my nemesis keeps combining them! Can I take a name off the combination list?
A: Yes you can.
Look up! Everything in the "Combine with..." section now has a link to "never combine." Use this feature wisely. "Marc Twain" may be idiotic, but misspelling should still be combined. "Mark Twain" and "Edward Gibbon" should not.
Q: What authors have already been slated to "never combine" with this author?
A: No authors.
Q: I am the nemesis and I'm right!
A: Take it to the Combiners group.
