Aeschylus was the first of the three ancient Greek tragedians whose plays can still be read or performed, the others being Sophocles and Euripides. He is often described as the father of tragedy: our knowledge of the genre begins with his work and our understanding of earlier tragedies is largely based on inferences from his surviving plays. Only seven of his estimated seventy to ninety plays have survived into modern times. Fragments of some other plays have survived in quotes and more continue to be discovered on Egyptian papyrus, often giving us surprising insights into his work.

Autorenporträt
Aeschylus was an ancient Greek playwright, often called the father of tragedy, whose work is considered the foundation of Greek theater. Born in Eleusis, Greece, his influence on the genre of tragedy is profound, as much of the academic knowledge of early Greek tragedy comes from his plays. Aeschylus is credited with transforming drama by introducing the second actor and expanding the scope of the stage. His plays are among the earliest surviving examples of Greek tragedy, providing crucial insights into the genre's origins. He was the son of Euphorion of Eleusis and had siblings Ameinias of Athens, Cynaegirus, and Philopatho. Aeschylus had two children, Euphorion and Euaeon, who also had connections to the theatrical arts. His works often explored themes of divine justice, fate, and the moral complexities faced by individuals. Aeschylus' contributions to the development of tragedy significantly shaped the future of theater and influenced the works of later playwrights.
