This was followed, in 475 BC, by "Women of Etna," in honour of the refoundation of Catania. Aeschylus probably acted in some of his own plays, not an uncommon practice for writers in those days. In effect, people like Aeschylus were writer-director-actors, multi-talented in much the same manner as many of today's rap singers, who write, choreograph and perform. The Syracusan amphitheatre was a magnificent setting. The largest Greek theatre anywhere constructed entirely of stone, it was then somewhat larger than the structure standing today.

Lecture on The Oresteia Ian Johnston, Malaspina University-College [The following notes began as a lecture delivered, in part, at Malaspina College in Liberal Studies 301 on September 25, 1995. That lecture was considerably revised in July 2000. This text is in the public domain, released July 2000. Note that references to Aeschylus's text are to the translation by Robert Fagles (Penguin, 1977)] For access to a free on-line translation of the Oresteia, follow this link: Oresteia A. Introduction My lecture today falls into two parts. In the first I want to offer some background information for our study of Aeschylus's Oresteia , specifically on the Trojan War and the House of Atreus, and in the second I will be addressing the first play in that trilogy, the Agamemnon , making relatively brief mention of the other plays in the trilogy. Other speakers today will focus in more detail on the second and third plays. B. The Trojan War With the possible exception of the narratives in the Old Testament, no story has been such a fecund artistic resource in Western culture as the Greeks' favourite tale, the Trojan War. This is a vast, complex story, which includes a great many subsidiary narratives, and it has over the centuries proved an inexhaustible resource for Western writers, painters, musicians, choreographers, novelists, and dramatists. It would be comparatively easy and very interesting to develop a course of study of Western Culture based entirely upon artistic depictions of events from this long narrative. So it's an important part of cultural literacy for any students of our traditions to have some acquaintance with the details of this story, which even today shows no sign of losing its appeal.

Ancient biographies are notoriously unreliable because many traditions about artists' lives arose well after they actually lived, and often were based on events in the poets own works. Thus, you have to be very careful about any stories about the Greek poets. No reliable contemporary source provides us with any detailed information about the life of Aeschylus, but later sources allow us to piece together an outline. Aeschylus' place of birth was Eleusis, the famous center for the cult of Demeter in Greece; the "mysteries" of Eleusis were rituals designed either to prepare the soul for the afterlife or for eventual reincarnation. Aeschylus was thirty-five years old at the battle of Marathon, one of the two pivotal events in the Greek struggle against the invading Persians.

30. Aeschylus - Greek Playwright - History For Kids! aeschylus for Kids Who was aeschylus? Why was aeschylus so famous for his plays? http://www.historyforkids.org/learn/greeks/literature/aeschylus.htm

Aeschylus for Kids - what did Aeschylus write plays about? Why are his plays so famous? when did Aeschylus live? Aeschylus 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. The Theater of Dionysos in Athens 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

Aeschylus The First Dramatist from The Greek Way by Edith Hamilton When Nietzsche made his famous definition of tragic pleasure he fixed his eyes, like all the other philosophers in like case, not on the Muse herself but on a single tragedian. His "reaffirmation of the will to live in the face of death, and the joy of its inexhaustibility when so reaffirmed" is not the tragedy of Sophocles nor the tragedy of Euripides, but it is the very essence of the tragedy of Aeschylus. The strange power tragedy has to present suffering and death in such away as to exalt and not depress is to be felt in Aeschylus' play as in those of no other tragic poet. He was the first tragedian; tragedy was his creation, and he set upon it the stamp of his own spirit. It was a soldier-spirit. Aeschylus was a Marathon-warrior, the title given to each of the little band who had beaten back the earlier tremendous Persian onslaught. As such, his epitaph would seem to show, he merited honor so lofty, no mention of his poetry could find place beside it. Aeschylus, the Athenian, Euphorion's son, is dead. This tomb in Gela's cornlands covers him. His glorious courage the hallowed field of Marathon could tell, and the longhaired Mede had knowledge of it.

32. Enjoying "Prometheus Bound", By Aeschylus Background information and links related to the story of Prometheus. http://www.pathguy.com/promethe.htm

Enjoying "Prometheus Bound", by Aeschylus Ed Friedlander MD scalpel_blade@yahoo.com The beautiful fables of the Greeks, being proper creations of the imagination and not of the fancy, are universal verities. What a range of meanings and what perpetual pertinence has the story of Prometheus! Ralph Waldo Emerson, "Essays" Prometheus stole fire and gave it to the human race. For this, he was bound to a mountain and punished for centuries. This basic Greek myth was retold through the classic era and provided the plot for Aeschylus's "Prometheus Bound". This site will help you as you search the background and meaning of this play, and ideas about the story of Prometheus generally. The Myths of Prometheus Prometheus was one of the Titans, the original race of gods sprung from earth and sky. He sided with Zeus and the other major gods of classical Greece when they overthrew the other Titans. The titans are listed by Hesiod in his Theogony as a group of twelve major gods, including allegorically-named Kronos ("time"), Mnemosyne ("memory / remembrance"), Themis ("justice"), Phoebe ("brightness"), Oceanus ("the ocean"), Hyperion ("the high one"), Tethys and Theia (both mean "the goddess / the revered lady"). Prometheus is usually listed as the son of the titan Iapetus. This could be the same name as "Japeth", ancestor of the Europeans in the Old Testament, and/or as "Giapetto", creator of Pinocchio. Herodotus (Histories) tells us that Prometheus's wife was named Asia, and that the continent of Asia was named for her. Aeschylus has Themis as mother of Prometheus.

35. The Agamemnon Of Aeschylus This new translation of the Agamemnon has, I believe, restored to aeschylus that pagan vigour and understanding which is essential if one is to appreciate http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Aegean/4979/agamem.html

The 'Agamemnon' of Aeschylus: A Radical Translation by D. W. Myatt Introduction This new translation of the 'Agamemnon' has, I believe, restored to Aeschylus that pagan vigour and understanding which is essential if one is to appreciate not only the work of Aeschylus, but also the civilization of Greece. Aeschylus, along with many other ancient classical authors, has suffered at the hands of those who have tried to translate Greek into English. Perhaps the greatest disservice done to him - and the others - is the rendering of certain concepts, mostly described by a particular Greek word, in what is fundamentally an un-Hellenic, abstract and moral way - albeit that this seems to be mostly unconsciously done. What results from this thoughtlessness is more often than not a sort of 'Christianizing' of Greek culture in retrospect - and thus a lack of insight into and understanding of the Hellenic way of living. One thinks here of verses like 1654-1656 from the 'Agamemnon'. This is always mis-translated to give something like: "No more violence. Here is a monstrous harvest and a bitter reaping time. There is pain enough already. Let us not be bloody now." The effect of such a 'translation' - not withstanding the abstract and modem concepts like "time" - is a moral one: the speaker (here, Clytaemnestra) apparently says, after killing Agamemnon and Cassandra, that she does not want any more "violence" and describes her killings as "monstrous". However, what Aeschylus actually has Clytaemnestra say is: "Let us not do any more harm for to reap these many would make it an

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.

Poems of Aeschylus Aeschylus Poems by Aeschylus Books on Aeschylus Biography of Ovid 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.
