Aeschylus (/ˈiːskᵻləs/ or /ˈɛskᵻləs/;Greek: Αἰσχύλος Aiskhulos; Ancient Greek: [ai̯s.kʰý.los]; c. 525/524 – c. 456/455 BC) was an ancient Greek tragedian. He is also the first whose plays still survive; the others are Sophocles and Euripides. He is often described as the father of tragedy: critics and scholars' knowledge of the genre begins with his work, and understanding of earlier tragedies is largely based on inferences from his surviving plays. According to Aristotle, he expanded the number of characters in theater to allow conflict among them, whereas characters previously had interacted only with the chorus.
Only seven of his estimated seventy to ninety plays have survived, and there is a longstanding debate regarding his authorship of one of these plays, Prometheus Bound, which some believe his son Euphorion actually wrote. 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. He was probably the first dramatist to present plays as a trilogy; his Oresteia is the only ancient example of the form to have survived. At least one of his plays was influenced by the Persians' second invasion of Greece (480-479 BC). This work, The Persians, is the only surviving classical Greek tragedy concerned with contemporary events (very few of that kind were ever written), and a useful source of information about its period. The significance of war in Ancient Greek culture was so great that Aeschylus' epitaph commemorates his participation in the Greek victory at Marathon while making no mention of his success as a playwright. Despite this, Aeschylus' work – particularly the Oresteia – is acclaimed by today's literary academics.

Prometheus Bound, an epic drama on the legendary tale of Prometheus Audiobook, by Aeschylus. "Prometheus Bound" is the only complete tragedy of the Prometheia trilogy, traditionally assumed to be the work of Aeschylus.

This is a three minute staging of the Greek drama called Prometheus Bound - featuring choral songs and dances, and Peter Arnott’s translation. The complete staging is available on DVD at www.MacMillanFilms.com Now, on the surface this is a story about two Gods. But – what’s important here is that this is a lesson in power politics. Zeus is the all-powerful tyrant – Prometheus is powerless. The drama opens with Hephaestus - with two stupid titans, named appropriately Strength and Violence – hammering Prometheus in place to punish him. Prometheus is then visited by many who have already bowed to Zeus’s power. Soon the god of the ocean – Oceanus himself – visits to explain how real power politics work.

Prometheus Bound (Browning Translation) - audiobook AESCHYLUS (c. 525/524 - 456/455 BC), translated by Elizabeth Barrett BROWNING (1806 - 1861) Whether or not it was actually written by Aeschylus, as is much disputed, "Prometheus Bound" is a powerful statement on behalf of free humanity in the face of what often seem like the impersonal, implacable Forces that rule the Universe. As one of the most compelling rebel manifestos ever composed, it has appealed not only to the expected host of scholars of Greek drama, but also to a fascinatingly free-spirited array of translators, especially since the early 19th century; Percy Bysshe Shelley, Henry David Thoreau, and activist-poet Augusta Webster are among those who have tried their poetic and linguistic powers at rendering it into English.

Mystery Of The Oracle Of Delphi - World Documentaries The Pythia, commonly known as the Oracle of Delphi, was the name of any kind of priestess throughout the past history of Temple of Apollo at Delphi, situated on the slopes of Mount Parnassus, underneath the Castalian Spring (the brand-new priestess was chosen after the death of the existing priestess). The Delphic oracle was established in the 8th century BC, although it could have been existing in some type in Late Mycenaean times, from 1400 BC and was abandoned, and there is evidence that Apollo took over the shrine from an earlier dedication to Gaia. During this period the Delphic Oracle was the most authoritative and prominent oracle among the Greeks. The oracle is among the best-documented spiritual institutions of the classic Gr...
The Persians (Ancient Greek: Πέρσαι, Persai, Latinised as Persae) is an ancient Greek tragedy written during the Classical period of Ancient Greece by the Greek tragedian Aeschylus. It is the second and only surviving part of a now otherwise lost trilogy that won the first prize at the dramatic competitions in Athens' City Dionysia festival in 472 BCE, with Pericles serving as choregos.
In The Persians, Xerxes invites the gods' enmity for his hubristic expedition against Greece in 480/79 BCE; the focus of the drama is the defeat of Xerxes' navy at Salamis. Given Aeschylus' propensity for writing connected trilogies, the theme of divine retribution may connect the three. It has been argued by some that these plays would have indirectly forecast events of the Persian invasion. Based on their presumed content, Xerxes' march through Thrace and the Persian defeat at the Battle of Plataea under Xerxes' brother-in-law Mardonius in 479, respectively, are possible candidates
The Persians AESCHYLUS (c. 525/524 - 456/455 BC), translated by Edmund Doidge Anderson MORSHEAD (1849 - 1912) This is one of the few Greek tragedies that deals with historical events rather than mythological ones. The elders of the Persian court await new of the outcome of the Battle of Salamis, and mourn when they find that their king, Xerxes, has lost to the Greeks.

Moisture is what we crave
The mirage of a city
Our only antagonist

Nothing left
Vicious circle
Our bodies are dead
The sand gripped our knees
