    Extractions: Click Up For Period Summary Contents Introduction The Sacrifice at Aulis The Death of Iphigenia The Gift of Helen ... 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: Go to Antithesis Root Page One sweltering afternoon I went down to the French Quarter to meet a friend near Jackson Square. I idled beside the wrought iron fence of the cathedral, imagining troops drilling in the square, the Stars and Bars flying, and drums rolling in the heat. At the waterfront I imagined great steamboats on the river. Back on Decatur Street, in a semi-reverie, I passed a Cajun quartet ignoring the humidity by belting out a beery "Jolie Blonde," a growing pile of bottles at their feet. My friend never came. Rotten luck, I thought. Coming abreast of a little Greek cafe toward evening, I was still wandering in absent-minded meditation when the door burst open with a blast of bouzouki music from the jukebox inside, and a black-haired girl rushed out and banged into me. I automatically wrapped my arms around her to steady us, and the huge Greek who stormed through the door in the next instant didn't like what he saw. He pulled a great knife and brandished it at us. The girl shoved me away and shouted "run!" and so, bewildered by the sudden action, and panicked by the angry man's evident misinterpretation of my role in it, I ran. I heard confusion behind me. Glancing back, I saw the girl on my heels and the huge man on hers, still waving the knife and cursing violently, so I grabbed her hand and sprinted around a corner. She gasped, "He will kill us!" And I believed her. Dodging past stalls full of watermelons and garlic, I saw an iron gate standing open and pulled the girl toward it; I saw the words "Aeschylus pour cinq sous" hand-lettered over the doorway and wondered irrelevantly as we ducked through what anyone in the Quarter had to do with the great Greek dramatist. I slammed the gate shut, and we ran down the narrow passageway. A rush of people passed the gate, yelling, but their voices faded and then were gone.

    Extractions: Prof. Ricardo Nirenberg T he other day we talked about the Otherworld, especially as described in Mesopotamian myths, and we dealt with a hard fact of our human condition: we die. Today we'll talk about the Greeks, and we will, near the end, be concerned with another hard fact of our human condition: we are born of a mother. But we can't talk about the Greeks without mentioning, first of all, the two long epic poems, the Iliad and the Odyssey which, according to tradition, were composed by Homer. This is because those two poems wereculturally if not religiouslyas important to the Greeks as the Bible was, and is, to Jews and Christians. Most important characters and most stories which appear in Greek tragedy had appeared already in Homer, and were therefore familiar to the Greek public. Let us summarize: the Iliad opens with the Greek army camped outside Troy; Agamemnon is the general-in-chief; the Greeks want to capture Troy because one of its princes, Paris, has eloped with Helen, the beautiful wife of Menelaus, Agamemnon's brother. The Greeks are having a hard time because after a quarrel with King Agamemnon, Achilles, the best warrior in the army, decides to quit fighting and stays in his tent. It took ten years for the Greeks to conquer Troy. The Odyssey opens after Troy has fallen, and tells the story of the return home of another Greek king, Odysseus. After another ten years of marvelous adventures and much suffering, Odysseus manages, with the help of the goddess Athena, to get back to his home in Ithaka, and to his wife, Penelope. He also slaughters the many suitors who were pestering her. For more than 2,000 years these two epic poems had the most profound influence on Western imagination, on art, on poetry and prose.

    Extractions: This most recent volume in the Hermes Books series introduces the general reader to Aeschylus' majestic achievement. In addition to discussing the plays themselves, Herington provides illuminating information on Aeschylus and his times: on the ancient mythical conception of the universe, on the momentous transitions experienced in Athenian life and thought during Aeschylus' later years, and on the evolution of the Athenian theatre. "Invaluable."Michael Payne, CEA Forum "Herington produces an excellent introduction to a tragedian whose virtues might not otherwise be fully appreciated at first reading. . . . Herinton's enthusiasm for recapturing the vitality of Aeschylus' drama shows through on every page." Choice "It adheres closely to the goal of aiding the modern, nonspecialist reader in approaching the ancient author."Phyllis Culham, Classical Bulletin "A reliable and readable introduction to Aeschylus."A.F. Garvie, Journal of Hellenic Studies "Herington succeed[s] in conveying to the reader something of the majesty of Aeschylus' lyric, dramatic, and imaginative genius while at the same time placing him within his own specific historical context."John E. Rexine, Colgate University
