About the Author

Aeschylus was born at Eleusis of a noble family. He fought at the Battle of Marathon (490 b.c.), where a small Greek band heroically defeated the invading Persians. At the time of his death in Sicily, Athens was in its golden age. In all of his extant works, his intense love of Greece and Athens show more finds expression. Of the nearly 90 plays attributed to him, only 7 survive. These are The Persians (produced in 472 b.c.), Seven against Thebes (467 b.c.), The Oresteia (458 b.c.)---which includes Agamemnon, Libation Bearers, and Eumenides (or Furies) --- Suppliants (463 b.c.), and Prometheus Bound (c.460 b.c.). Six of the seven present mythological stories. The ornate language creates a mood of tragedy and reinforces the already stylized character of the Greek theater. Aeschylus called his prodigious output "dry scraps from Homer's banquet," because his plots and solemn language are derived from the epic poet. But a more accurate summation of Aeschylus would emphasize his grandeur of mind and spirit and the tragic dignity of his language. Because of his patriotism and belief in divine providence, there is a profound moral order to his plays. Characters such as Clytemnestra, Orestes, and Prometheus personify a great passion or principle. As individuals they conflict with divine will, but, ultimately, justice prevails. Aeschylus's introduction of the second actor made real theater possible, because the two could address each other and act several roles. His successors imitated his costumes, dances, spectacular effects, long descriptions, choral refrains, invocations, and dialogue. Swinburne's (see Vol. 1) enthusiasm for The Oresteia sums up all praises of Aeschylus; he called it simply "the greatest achievement of the human mind." Because of his great achievements, Aeschylus might be considered the "father of tragedy." (Bowker Author Biography) show less

Short biography: Aeschylus was an ancient Greek playwright. He is credited with an estimated 92 plays, though only seven have survived into modern times. He is known to have fought at the Battle of Marathon (490 BCE), which influenced his Persians (the only surviving Greek tragedy based on contemporary events) and probably at the Battle of Salamis (480).
Born at Eleusis in 525 BCE, he started producing tragedies at Athens in 499, and had his first victory in 484. He visited Sicily at least twice, and died there at Gela in 456.

Prometheus bound ; The suppliants ; Seven against… by Aeschylus.

I am interested in the ancient stories as being the seeds of modern literature. I'm reading them in translation, of course, and I can't comment on the quality of that since I don't speak Greek, modern or ancient. But I'm struck by the overall readability of these plays, and the universality of the themes. Meaning, we still grapple with some of these ideas today. The introduction is quite readable and informative about the cultural background of these plays. Also, knowing that they are individual pieces of larger arcs is helpful.

PROMETHEUS BOUND - my favorite of the four plays, the titan Prometheus punished by Zeus for daring to help humanity rise above the animals by gifting us with fire and the various crafts and sciences which underpin civilization. Interesting to speculate how history would be different if the being that favored humanity had been allowed to continue shepherding our development, rather than humanity falling under the sway of a god (Zeus) who actually didn't really like us! Even Hephaestus, who is part of Zeus's cohort, thought he was being unfair to Prometheus. Themes of justice/fairness, knowing that what you do will have dire consequences but doing it anyway because it is right.

The Suppliants - my second favorite. I liked this one because Aeschylus acknowledges the injustice to women who are forced to marry against their will. The fact that they have to apply for help to a neighboring kingdom, rather than being able to rely on their own nation to protect them, underlines the unfairness. Not something I expected in the male-dominated ancient world. Made me want to read the (missing) others to see how this issue was resolved.

Seven Against Thebes - Least favorite. I've read Sophocles' Oedipus so I have the gist of the background, but this one was a little too much like the Iliad for my taste. Lists of names of warriors and descriptions of their armor and who they are. Not very interesting to read, although I understand it was based on an actual battle.

The Persians - third favorite. Again, not really a story, but a summary of the battle of Salamis in which the Greeks defeated the Persians in a decisive naval battle. Interesting in that Aeschylus chose to put it in the point of view of the defeated Persians and not the victorious Greeks. Deeper themes of hubris and 'pride going before a fall.'

All in all, I enjoyed reading these plays and learning more about ancient history.… (more)

The Oresteian Trilogy by Aeschylus

I enjoyed reading these plays, and imagining how they would be staged. The theme of revenge vs. justice is still a timely one today, and I thought the layers of old gods vs. new gods, and to a lesser extent, gender politics, added psychological depth to the story.

I can imagine the characters as actual people, with their messy motivations and emotions. Clytemnestra, left alone for over a decade as her husband is off at Troy, her oldest daughter killed by this same man. I honestly can't really blame her for wanting to kill Agamemnon herself, especially since he tricked both of them by saying he had found a husband for Iphigenia in order to get his daughter to come to where he was. To then turn a celebration into a murder is really evil. But "an eye for an eye" really does just cause an endless trail of tragedy.

It's fascinating to see the Furies turned into some kind of auxiliary for the Fates. I wonder why Aeschylus did that, or if that was already an accepted mythology that he capitalized on. It contains aspects of karma for me, the idea that these beings who demand payment for crimes should morph into beings who deal out destiny. So interesting.… (more)
