Description
Specifications
Aeschylus (525-456 BC) brought a new grandeur and epic scope to the drama of classical Athens, elevating it to artistic heights. The Persians, the only Greek tragedy that refers to events from recent Athenian history, portrays the ultimate defeat of Persia in the battle of Salamis, through the eyes of the Persian court of King Xerxes, acquiring the character of a tragic lesson about tyranny.
In Prometheus Bound, the unyielding Titan Prometheus is harshly punished by Zeus for his bold act of improving the condition of the misery and slavery in which humanity is held. Seven Against Thebes depicts the relentless downfall of the last members of the cursed family of Oedipus, while The Suppliants concerns the pursuit of the fifty daughters of Danaus by the fifty sons of Egypt and their ultimate rescue by a heroic king.
