The Seven Against Thebes

Viac o knihe

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. Fragments and quotes from additional works, often discovered on Egyptian papyrus, continue to provide valuable insights into his dramatic innovations and themes, enriching the study of ancient Greek theater.
