The Complete Aeschylus

Meer over het boek

Aeschylus, recognized as the father of tragedy, is the earliest of the three ancient Greek tragedians whose works endure today. His contributions form the foundation of our understanding of the genre, with only seven of his estimated seventy to ninety plays surviving. The discovery of fragments, often found on Egyptian papyrus, continues to provide new insights into his artistry and themes, enriching our appreciation of his influence on theater.
