I N 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.

London: Historical Publishing Company, 1906. pp. 53-59. Purchase Plays by Aeschylus In a trilogy, or set of three connected plays, of which only his survives, he celebrated the glorious contests which he had witnessed, and for this also he gained the prize. Though defeated by Sophocles at his first attempt, the veteran Aeschylus regained his position with the series of which Seven Against Thebes was a part, and thenceforth his supremacy was undisputed. The real "father of tragedy" Aeschylus has been justly termed, certainly deserving this title far more than Thespis, for he it was who, as Aristophanes says, "first decked out tragedy with magificence." Improvements Introduced by Aeschylus Many were the improvements which Aeschylus introduced, especially in diminishing the importance of the chorus and in adding a second actor, thus giving prominence to the dialogue and making it the leading feature of the play. He removed all deeds of bloodshed from the public view, and in their place provided many spectacular elements, improving the costumes, making the masks more expressive and convenient, and probably adopting the cothurnus to increase the stature of the performers. Finally, he established the custom of contending for the prize with trilogies, or series of three independent dramas.

   Extractions: Home Theatre Links Advertise Here Email Us Aeschylus The "Father of Tragedy," Aeschylus was born in 525 B.C. in the city of Eleusis. Immersed early in the mystic rites of the city and in the worship of the Mother and Earth goddess Demeter, he was once sent as a child to watch grapes ripening in the countryside. According to Aeschylus, when he dozed off, Dionysus appeared to him in a dream and ordered him to write tragedies. The obedient young Aeschylus began a tragedy the next morning and "succeeded very easily." When Aeschylus first began writing, the theatre had only just begun to evolve. Plays were little more than animated oratorios or choral poetry supplemented with expressive dance. A chorus danced and exchanged dialogue with a single actor who portrayed one or more characters primarily by the use of masks. Most of the action took place in the circular dancing area or "orchestra" which still remained from the old days when drama had been nothing more than a circular dance around a sacred object. It was a huge leap for drama when Aeschylus introduced the second actor. He also attempted to involve the chorus directly in the action of the play. In

   Extractions: Greek Playwright Aeschylus was the earliest of the great Greek tragedians and the principal creator of Greek drama. He is called the 'Father of Tragedy'. Aeschylus fought for Athens at Marathon (490 BC), helping defeat invading Persia. His first prize in a dramatic contest came in 484 BC, followed eight years later by his earliest extant work, 'The Persians'. Before Aeschylus, tragedies had a single actor, who could only respond to suggestions of the chorus. By adding a second actor, Aeschylus was able to show intrigue and conflict. He reduced the chorus in size, lessening its importance in favour of dramatic dialogue. The chorus assumed a secondary role, commenting, warning or setting the mood for the action of the play which was now carried by the actors. Of the 90 or so plays Aeschylus wrote, only seven have survived in complete form, among them the 'Oresteia' trilogy, 'The Seven against Thebes' and 'Prometheus Bound'. www link :

    Extractions: scalpel_blade@yahoo.com Readers of "The Seven Against Thebes" will enjoy this little introduction to the themes and personalities in ths play. Translate this page automatically Aeschylus wrote this play for presentation in 467 BC, where it won first prize in the tragedy division of the annual Athenian dramatic contest. Before Aeschylus, Greek plays featured a single character in dialogue with the chorus. Aeschylus is supposed to have originated the idea of having a second character onstage (Eteocles and the scout, Antigone and Ismene). Background "There are many things that are worse than war. They all begin with defeat." Before we had reliable birth control, population pressures made war between neighboring communities inevitable. Whole towns would be enslaved or exterminated so that the conquerors could expand. The chorus in "The Seven Against Thebes" describes, in vivid detail, what happened to the conquered people. Real security was offered only by the "empires", i.e., huge protection rackets such as contemporary Persia. In return for keeping peace, empires would bleed communities of their resources. And even this security was only temporary, since empires themselves often were at war with each other. When Aeschylus wrote this play, the Athenians and Spartans had just successfully resisted Persia's attempts at domination. The Greeks felt that this represented a triumph for a freer way fo life. In Sparta, independence was maintained by an extremely disciplined military culture. Athens, by contrast, experimented with democracy and cultural innovation.

Born in Eleusis , he wrote his first plays in 498 BC , but his earliest surviving play is possibly The Suppliants , written in approximately 490 BC . That same year, he participated in the Battle of Marathon , and in 480 BC he fought at the Battle of Salamis . Salamis was the subject of his play The Persians , written in 472 BC ; it is possible that The Suppliants was written after this, making The Persians his earliest surviving play. Aeschylus was the earliest of the three greatest Greek tragedians, the others being Sophocles and Euripides . Aeschylus' work has a strong moral and religious emphasis. Many of his plays end more "happily" than those of the other two; namely, his masterpiece The Oresteia trilogy. Besides the literary merit of his work, Aeschylus' greatest contribution to the theater was the addition of a second actor to his scenes.
