I am here, Aeschylus.
It will please you to know that I have found the Divine pathway.
It wasn't hard at all, since I was a deep thinker, and was always
looking for an answer to what I perceived as the unsolved riddle
of life. I did not find answers in my own culture, and so I looked
elsewhere, and consequently found.
Aeschylus ( 525 BC/524 BC – 456 BC/455 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 among them;
previously, characters interacted only with the chorus. No more
than seven of the estimated 92 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 a quintessential 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.
