Aeschylus born 525/524 BC died 456/455 BC , Gela, Sicily First of classical Athens' great tragic dramatists, who raised that emerging art to great heights of poetry and theatrical power. Life and career Aeschylus grew up in the turbulent period when the Athenian democracy, having thrown off its tyranny (the absolute rule of one man), had to prove itself against both self-seeking politicians at home and invaders from abroad. Aeschylus himself took part in his city's first struggles against the invading Persians. Later Greek chroniclers believed that Aeschylus was 35 years old in 490 BC when he participated in the Battle of Marathon , in which the Athenians first repelled the Persians; if this is true it would place his birth in 525 BC . Aeschylus' father's name was Euphorion, and the family probably lived at Eleusis (west of Athens). Aeschylus was a notable participant in Athens' major dramatic competition, the Great Dionysia, which was a part of the festival of Dionysus. Every year at this festival, each of three dramatists would produce three tragedies, which either could be unconnected in plot sequence or could have a connecting theme. This trilogy was followed by a satyr play, which was a kind of lighthearted burlesque. Aeschylus is recorded as having participated in this competition, probably for the first time, in 499 BC . He won his first victory in the theatre in the spring of 484 BC . In the meantime, he had fought and possibly been wounded at Marathon, and Aeschylus singled out his participation in this battle years later for mention on the verse epitaph he wrote for himself. Aeschylus' brother was killed in this battle. In 480 the Persians again invaded Greece, and once again Aeschylus saw service, fighting at the battles of Artemisium and

AESCHYLUS Listen to the sad story of mankind: At first mindless, I gave them mind and reason. Not in disparagement of men do I speak. But to show my gifts were governed by good will. For seeing, they saw not; hearing, they could not listen. All their lives they passed like shapes in dreams, Confused and devoid of purpose. . . . They acted without knowledge, till I came. . . . Number, chief of sciences, I invented for them, And how to set down words in writing, The skill of remembrance, mother of the Muses. . . . I distinguished the divers modes of prophecy, And was the first to discern from dreams What Fate ordains should come to be. I gave the hidden sense of voices, Sounds, sights met by chance upon the road. I guided mankind to a hidden art, And read to them the intimations of the altar-flames. Prometheus Bound AESCHYLUS During the prolonged struggle with Persia from 490 to 479 B.C., Aeschylus fought in the battles of Marathon, Artemisium, Salamis and Plataea. At Marathon he saw his brother Cynaegirus killed in an act of bravery. The brothers fought nobly enough to be memorialized by inclusion in the picture of Marathon in the Painted Porch (Stoa). Whilst no one knows when Aeschylus turned his penetrating intellect to poetic expression, he must have been relatively young, for he first competed for the prize in the Athenian drama festival of 499 B.C. at the age of twenty-six. His first recorded victory occurred in 484 B.C., and between that time and his last cycle of plays, performed in 458 B.C., he won the prize more than twelve times. According to Suidas, Aeschylus wrote ninety plays, of which titles and fragments of over eighty survive. Nonetheless, only seven complete plays remain as a testimony to his exceptional genius.

AESCHYLUS John Herington 199 pp. Paper ISBN 0-300-03643-4 back to top Reviews This most recent volume in the Hermes Books series introduces the general reader to Aeschylus' majestic achievement. In addition to discussing the plays themselves, Herington provides illuminating information on Aeschylus and his times: on the ancient mythical conception of the universe, on the momentous transitions experienced in Athenian life and thought during Aeschylus' later years, and on the evolution of the Athenian theatre. "Invaluable."Michael Payne, CEA Forum "Herington produces an excellent introduction to a tragedian whose virtues might not otherwise be fully appreciated at first reading. . . . Herinton's enthusiasm for recapturing the vitality of Aeschylus' drama shows through on every page." Choice "It adheres closely to the goal of aiding the modern, nonspecialist reader in approaching the ancient author."Phyllis Culham, Classical Bulletin "A reliable and readable introduction to Aeschylus."A.F. Garvie, Journal of Hellenic Studies "Herington succeed[s] in conveying to the reader something of the majesty of Aeschylus' lyric, dramatic, and imaginative genius while at the same time placing him within his own specific historical context."John E.

AESCHYLUS Playwright Aeschylus is often called the father of Greek tragedy; he wrote the earliest complete plays which survive from ancient Greece. Aeschylus was known for his dramatic plots and grand style, and was the first playwright to add a second actor to the stage. (To that point most tragedies featured only a single actor and a chorus.) He is known to have written more than 90 plays, though only seven survive. The most famous of these are the trilogy known as Orestia , which includes Agamemnon, Choephori, and Eumenides . Also well-known are The Persians and Prometheus Bound. Extra credit : Aeschylus is pronounced ES kih lus ...

Introduction Questions to Consider Aeschylus' Persians and Contemporary Politics Aids to Reading the Persians ... The Structure and Meters of the Play Introduction In 480 B.C. the combined naval forces of the Greeks, led by Athens, defeated a much more imposing Persian force under their king Xerxes in the narrows off of the island of Salamis (west of Athens). This Greek victory (along with a victory by land a few months later at Plataea in Boeotia) put an end to Xerxes' plans to expand his realm westward into Europe and was a just source of pride for the forces of Athens in particular. In 472 B.C. Aeschylus celebrated this victory in his play, The Persians. For an account of Xerxes' expedition and its aftermath, see Herodotus, The Histories, books 7-9 (especially 8.40ff.) and J.B.

Click Home For Topic Search, Up For Period Summary Contents Introduction 1 The Sacrifice at Aulis 2 The Death of Iphigenia 3 The Gift of Helen ... Sources Introduction Aeschylus (525-425 BCE) became the first Greek playwright to bring a second actor on to the stage, enabling him to exploit the endless possibilities of dialog. His one surviving trilogy of plays overthrows the ancient tradition of the repeating cycle of vengeance and blood feud, replacing it with trial by jury as a means of achieving justice. Symbolic of the change in psychology this requires is the transformation of the Furies—ancient, primitive deities pursuing vengeance—into beneficent powers bringing peace. They are portrayed as transformed by a new way of thinking, initiated by Athena, who represents wisdom acting through persuasion. Another deity present in the plays, Apollo, has also demanded murder in revenge for murder. He has tried to break the sequence of calamities by requiring subsequent ritual cleansing and forgiveness. He also comes to accept Athena’s concept of justice by means of a jury. In essence, Aeschylus shows that the tradition of individuals pursuing justice on their own, as advocated by the Furies and Apollo, should be replaced by a system whereby justice is enforced by society as a whole. The extension of this concept to relations between nations has yet to be achieved. The main characters in the trilogy, which also dwells on the horrors of war, are Agamemnon, son of Atreus and leader of the Greek force sent to Troy to bring back Helen, the wife of Menelaus, Agamemnon’s brother. She had been willingly abducted by Paris, son of the Trojan king. To obtain a favorable wind for his fleet pinned down at Aulis, Agamemnon sacrificed his own daughter, Iphigenia. When he returned from Troy, his wife Clytemnestra greets him with welcome that has threatening undertones. She persuades him to the impiety of walking on a purple carpet into the palace. Once inside, she ensnares him in constraining robes and stabs him to death, along with the slave girl he has impudently brought back. She defies the citizens to judge her when they have failed to punish Agamemnon for murdering his daughter. All this is in the first play

Latest News Aeschylus In the lives of the three great Greek tragedians, tradition is so mixed with fact, and the facts themselves frequently so uncertain, that it is hard to tell where one leaves off and the other begins. According to tradition the great service of Aeschylus to Greek drama had its beginnings in a dream. One night when he was watching his father's flocks, the gods in a vision commanded him to write tragic dramas for their glorification in the religious festivals. Whether there is anything of truth in the story or not, Aeschylus must have begun writing plays at an early age for we find him when scarcely twenty-five years old competing in the dramatic contests held yearly in honor of the god Dionysus. It was fifteen years, however, before he carried off first prize. Meanwhile, he had learned his craft so well that from his first success in 484 B.C. he continued to win almost continuously until his death. The parents of Aeschylus belonged to the old Attic nobility so that family life and traditions tended to make him a broadminded conservative, both in politics and religion. The circumstance that his birthplace, Eleusis, was the center of the worship of the goddess, Demeter, probably is largely responsible for his keen religious consciousness, and the fact that in all his extant plays the unvarying motive is the relentless power of Fate and the ultimate justice of Providence.
