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)] 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 culture to have some acquaintance with the details of this story, which even today shows no sign of losing its appeal.

AESCHYLUS (525-456 B.C.) 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

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. Previously, the action took place between a single actor and the Greek chorus Aeschylus is known to have written over 70 plays, only six of which remain extant:

AESCHYLUS Playwright Aeschylus is often called the father of Greek tragedy; he wrote the earliest complete plays which survive from ancient Greece. Aeschylus was known for his dramatic plots and grand style, and was the first playwright to add a second actor to the stage. (To that point most tragedies featured only a single actor and a chorus.) He is known to have written more than 90 plays, though only seven survive. The most famous of these are the trilogy known as Orestia , which includes Agamemnon, Choephori, and Eumenides . Also well-known are The Persians and Prometheus Bound. Extra credit : Aeschylus is pronounced ES kih lus ...

Aeschylus The 'Father of Tragedy,' Aeschylus was born in 525 BC in the city of Eleusis. Together with Sophocles and Euripides, Aeschylus is one of the best-known Athenian tragic poets. In his plays, he addresses complex theological problems. For example, in the trilogy Agamemnon Choephoroi Eumenides , he describes how the gods punish a family for a series of murders. The Persians is a superb play, in which the Athenian victory at Salamis (480) is celebrated, written seven years after the event. Aeschylus was highly esteemed; fifty years after his death, the comic poet Aristophanes wrote a play, The Frogs, in which Aeschylus and Euripides are presented as the greatest playwrights. He reduced the chorus in size, lessening its importance in favor 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'. Aeschylus himself did not care about his fame: he wanted to be remembered not for his tragedies, but for the fact that he had fought at Marathon. Legend has it that Aeschylus met his death when an eagle mistook his bald head for a rock and dropped a tortoise on it.

Aeschylus born 525/524 BC died 456/455 BC , Gela, Sicily First of classical Athens' great tragic dramatists, who raised that emerging art to great heights of poetry and theatrical power. Life and career Aeschylus grew up in the turbulent period when the Athenian democracy, having thrown off its tyranny (the absolute rule of one man), had to prove itself against both self-seeking politicians at home and invaders from abroad. Aeschylus himself took part in his city's first struggles against the invading Persians. Later Greek chroniclers believed that Aeschylus was 35 years old in 490 BC when he participated in the Battle of Marathon , in which the Athenians first repelled the Persians; if this is true it would place his birth in 525 BC . Aeschylus' father's name was Euphorion, and the family probably lived at Eleusis (west of Athens). Aeschylus was a notable participant in Athens' major dramatic competition, the Great Dionysia, which was a part of the festival of Dionysus. Every year at this festival, each of three dramatists would produce three tragedies, which either could be unconnected in plot sequence or could have a connecting theme. This trilogy was followed by a satyr play, which was a kind of lighthearted burlesque. Aeschylus is recorded as having participated in this competition, probably for the first time, in 499 BC . He won his first victory in the theatre in the spring of 484 BC . In the meantime, he had fought and possibly been wounded at Marathon, and Aeschylus singled out his participation in this battle years later for mention on the verse epitaph he wrote for himself. Aeschylus' brother was killed in this battle. In 480 the Persians again invaded Greece, and once again Aeschylus saw service, fighting at the battles of Artemisium and

Poem of the Day Archive Aeschylus 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.
