At Athens he competed in production of plays more than twenty times, and was rewarded on at least thirteen occasions, becoming dominant between 500 and 458 through the splendour of his language and his dramatic conceptions and technique. Persians (472), the only surviving Greek historical drama, presents the failure of Xerxes to conquer Greece. Seven against Thebes (467) was the second play of its trilogy of related plays on the evil fate of the Theban House. Polyneices tries to regain Thebes from his brother Eteocles; both are killed. In Suppliant Maidens , the first in a trilogy, the daughters of Danaus arrive with him at Argos, whose King and people save them from the wooing of the sons of their uncle Aegyptus. In Prometheus Bound , first or second play of its trilogy about Prometheus, he is nailed to a crag, by order of Zeus, for stealing fire from heaven for men. Defiant after visitors' sympathy and despite advice, he descends in lightning and thunder to Hell. The Oresteia (458), on the House of Atreus, is the only Greek trilogy surviving complete. In Agamemnon , the King returns from Troy, and is murdered by his wife Clytaemnestra. In

    Extractions: My fate is angry if I obey these, But angry if I slaughter This child, the beauty of my house, With maiden blood shed staining These father's hands beside the altar. What of these things goes now without disaster? How shall I fail my ships And lose my faith of battle? A great ox stands on my tongue. Happiness is a choice that requires effort at times. It is in the character of very few men to honor without envy a friend who has prospered. Call no man happy till he is dead. I well know that mirror of friendship, shadow of a shade. Death is better, a milder fate than tyranny. It is like a woman indeed To take rapture before the fact is shown for true. They believe too easily, are too quick to shift

Sources 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

    Extractions: Orpheus AESCHYLUS Aeschylus (525-456 bce) is considered the "Father of Tragedy," the first of the three great tragedians in Greek drama. He fought in the Persian wars and expresses Athenian values during its golden age. Indeed, he wrote a play called The Persians , the only historical play to survive from ancient Greece. He is credited with the innovation of adding the second actor to the old form which involved only one actor and the chorus. We have 7 of his 80 or more plays, including the three plays of the Oresteia . He tends to explore grand moral issues and uses the chorus for its lyrical role and to comment on the action. Although rather a traditionalist, he does foreground human interaction and diminish attention to the gods. The story that he always wrote his plays while drunk is apocryphal. Agamemnon

    Extractions: This edition of Aeschylus, the fifth century B.C. Greek tragedian, was printed a few years after the death of Aldus the Elder while the impetus of his program of publication of the Greek and Latin classics was still an important factor to the firm. In spite of an enthusiastic preface by Francesco Torresani boasting that few, if any, improvements could be made to the firm's productions, this first Greek edition of Aeschylus has been roundly condemned as one of the worst things ever to come off the Venetian press. One of its most famous gaffes is the editor's missing the fact that the manuscript lacked the pages containing the last part of Agamemnon and the first part of Choephori , printing them as though there were no break and suddenly throwing the reader into a completely different play with no warning. The book is displayed showing the page on which this lacuna occurs. Exhibit Home Page Greek and Latin Classics

    Extractions: @import url("http://www.blogger.com/css/blog_controls.css"); @import url("http://www.blogger.com/dyn-css/authorization.css?targetBlogID=6935968"); At the beginning of J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows , I saw the following motto from Aeschylus' Libation Bearers Oh, the torment bred in the race, the grinding scream of death and the stroke that hits the vein, the haemorrhage none can staunch, the grief, the curse no man can bear. Now hear, you blissful powers underground - answer the call, send help. Bless the children, give them Triumph now. Libation Bearers , or Choephori , is the second play in Aeschylus' dramatic trilogy Oresteia , and gets its name from the chorus of women who carry drink offerings to be poured on the grave of Agamemnon. Agamemnon was murdered by his wife Clytemnestra in the first play of the trilogy. The "children" in the quotation are Orestes and Electra, son and daughter of Agamemnon and Clytemnestra, who are plotting to kill their mother in revenge for her murder of their father.
