470 BC THE PERSIANS by Aeschylus translated by Robert Potter The electronic text version of this translation comes from the Eris Project at Virginia Tech, which has made it available for public use. The hypertext version presented here has been designed for students of Ancient History at the University of Calgary. I have added line numbers (to facilitate specific citation or to find a specific passage from a citation; note: the line numbers of a Greek text do not always fit as smoothly as one might like into a translation) and made occasional minor modifications, generally following the line ascriptions of more recent scholars; in the final discussion between Xerxes and the chorus, I have followed Potter's assemblage into two speeches, rather than attempt the almost impossible task of adapting his translation into the interplay between the two parties. Another HTML version of the complete text, with no numeration if you prefer this, is available at the Internet Classics Archive from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. J.

Aeschylus From New World Encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Previous (Aeschines Socraticus) Next (Aesir) Aeschylus Aeschylus B.C.E. B.C.E. ; Greek: ) was a playwright of ancient Greece , and the earliest of the three greatest Greek tragedians. Like Sophocles and Euripides , who would follow him, Aeschylus is one of the seminal figures in the development of drama in the Western world. If Sophocles was the dramatist whose primary theme was fate, Aeschylus was dramatist who examined the relation of the gods to the lives of mortal men. More than the other tragedians, Aeschylus was concerned about the role of the divine, the path to moral rectitude, and the nature of justice. His most famous cycles of plays, the Oresteia , uses the retelling of the myth of the House of Atreus in the aftermath of the Trojan War to explain the transition from the ancient law of revenge, the lex talionis to the new system of trial by jury. This is seen as mythically representing one of the important turning points in the development of civilization. Aeschylus's concerns were no doubt influenced by his own turbulent and morally confusing times—the Athenian republic had just begun its experiment in democracy , and was constantly in danger of being usurped by local tyrants and foreign invaders. Aeschylus not only fought for Athenian democracy as a writer, but also as a soldier—he was wounded protecting Greece at the Battle of Marathon—and would later consider his achievements as a soldier, rather than a playwright, to be his greatest contribution to history.

Aeschylus (525-456 BC) was an ancient Greek playwright. He is often recognized as the father or the founder of tragedy, and is the earliest of the three Greek tragedians whose plays survive, the others being Sophocles and Euripides. He expanded the number of characters in plays to allow for conflict between them; previously, characters interacted only with the chorus. Unfortunately, only seven of the estimated 70 plays written by Aeschylus have survived into modern times. Many of Aeschylus' works were influenced by the Persian invasion of Greece, which took place during his lifetime. His play The Persians remains an important primary source of information about this period in Greek history. The war was so important to Greeks and to Aeschylus himself that, upon his death around 456 BC, his epitaph included a reference to his participation in the Greek victory at Marathon but not to his success as a playwright. Born in Eleusis, a district of Athens, he wrote his first plays in 498 BC, but his earliest surviving play is possibly The Suppliants, written in approximately 490 BC. That same year, he participated in the Battle of Marathon, and in 480 BC he fought at the Battle of Salamis. Salamis was the subject of his play The Persians, written in 472 BC; it is possible that The Suppliants was written after this, making The Persians his earliest surviving play.

Aeschylus The Theater of Dionysos in Athens PLAYS BY AESCHYLUS AGAMEMNON LIBATION BEARERS EUMENIDES OTHER GREEK PLAYWRIGHTS SOPHOCLES EURIPEDES GREEK LITERATURE Aeschylus (ESS-kill-us) is the earliest playwright whose plays survive today, though there were Greek men writing plays a little earlier. Aeschylus lived in Athens in the late 500's and early 400's BC , so he saw the birth of Athenian democracy under Cleisthenes. He fought in the battle of Marathon . Aeschylus lived at the same time as Sophocles , though Sophocles was a bit younger. Aeschylus wrote tragedies about the difficult choices men (not, in his view, women) have to make, and what happens as a result. His most famous plays are the three plays Agamemnon , the Libation Bearers , and the Eumenides . In Agamemnon, the king has to decide whether to keep his promise to the other kings, even if it means killing his own daughter. In Libation Bearers, that king's son has to decide whether to kill his own mother, because she killed his father. And in Eumenides, a jury has to decide whether the same king's son is guilty of murder. When Aeschylus died, his tombstone did not even mention his plays. It just said "I fought at

We know Aeschylus was born into a wealthy, well established family of Eleusis, and that his father's name was Euphorion. Aeschylus' home town was a suburb of Athens where the Eleusinian mysteries were celebrated. These gnostic rites may well have influenced Aeschylus' religious speculations. He fought in the Persian War at Marathon and a decade later at Salamis. The victory of the Athenians at Salamis marked the beginning of the Golden Age of Athens, establishing the city as the dominant force in Greece and launching her imperial ambitions, and Aeschylus was there. Aristophanes gives us, in the Frogs, a portrait of a thoughtful, kind man with a decidedly passionate nature that squares with other contemporary anecdotes of the dramatist. Gerogias, for example, remarked that Aeschylus' plays were "full of Dionysos," lending credence to the popular notion that he wrote his plays while "under the influence." He wrote over 80 plays (some say 90), and he won his first victory at the City Dionysia in 484BC. He acted in and oversaw every detail of their production of his plays as well, clearly what we moderns would call a true regisseur. Only seven survive: the

AESCHYLUS 525 - 456 BC Greek Playwright Aeschylus was the earliest of the great Greek tragedians and the principal creator of Greek drama. He is called the 'Father of Tragedy'. Aeschylus fought for Athens at Marathon (490 BC), helping defeat invading Persia. His first prize in a dramatic contest came in 484 BC, followed eight years later by his earliest extant work, 'The Persians'. Before Aeschylus, tragedies had a single actor, who could only respond to suggestions of the chorus. By adding a second actor, Aeschylus was able to show intrigue and conflict. He reduced the chorus in size, lessening its importance in favour of dramatic dialogue. The chorus assumed a secondary role, commenting, warning or setting the mood for the action of the play which was now carried by the actors. Of the 90 or so plays Aeschylus wrote, only seven have survived in complete form, among them the 'Oresteia' trilogy, 'The Seven against Thebes' and 'Prometheus Bound'.
