About the Author

Aeschylus was born at Eleusis of a noble family. He fought at the Battle of Marathon (490 b.c.), where a small Greek band heroically defeated the invading Persians. At the time of his death in Sicily, Athens was in its golden age. In all of his extant works, his intense love of Greece and Athens show more finds expression. Of the nearly 90 plays attributed to him, only 7 survive. These are The Persians (produced in 472 b.c.), Seven against Thebes (467 b.c.), The Oresteia (458 b.c.)---which includes Agamemnon, Libation Bearers, and Eumenides (or Furies) --- Suppliants (463 b.c.), and Prometheus Bound (c.460 b.c.). Six of the seven present mythological stories. The ornate language creates a mood of tragedy and reinforces the already stylized character of the Greek theater. Aeschylus called his prodigious output "dry scraps from Homer's banquet," because his plots and solemn language are derived from the epic poet. But a more accurate summation of Aeschylus would emphasize his grandeur of mind and spirit and the tragic dignity of his language. Because of his patriotism and belief in divine providence, there is a profound moral order to his plays. Characters such as Clytemnestra, Orestes, and Prometheus personify a great passion or principle. As individuals they conflict with divine will, but, ultimately, justice prevails. Aeschylus's introduction of the second actor made real theater possible, because the two could address each other and act several roles. His successors imitated his costumes, dances, spectacular effects, long descriptions, choral refrains, invocations, and dialogue. Swinburne's (see Vol. 1) enthusiasm for The Oresteia sums up all praises of Aeschylus; he called it simply "the greatest achievement of the human mind." Because of his great achievements, Aeschylus might be considered the "father of tragedy." (Bowker Author Biography) show less

Short biography: Aeschylus was an ancient Greek playwright. He is credited with an estimated 92 plays, though only seven have survived into modern times. He is known to have fought at the Battle of Marathon (490 BCE), which influenced his Persians (the only surviving Greek tragedy based on contemporary events) and probably at the Battle of Salamis (480).
Born at Eleusis in 525 BCE, he started producing tragedies at Athens in 499, and had his first victory in 484. He visited Sicily at least twice, and died there at Gela in 456.

Prometheus Bound and Other Plays: Prometheus Bound,… by Philip Vellacott

My second Aeschylus book, this one containing all of his remaining surviving works. Sadly, those which were part of trilogies are now orphaned, so like A Song of Ice and Fire and The Kingkiller Chronicles, we'll probably never get to experience the works in their completeness. I joke, but it does drive home just how much of human literature we have lost - how what survives is only a small fraction of what once existed.

This book was considerably slimmer, thanks to the comparatively brief 15-page introduction, although Philip Vellacot is still the editor/translator. Looks like this may have been the earlier publication, so maybe he just hadn't worked up all that steam yet?

As to the plays, I liked Prometheus Bound, it had a similar intensity of emotion to the Orestia. The Supplicants I felt was the weakest. I felt the chorus of women was very effective in Seven Against Thebes, their mounting terror at the sounds of the besieging army really hightened the tension and the perspective - that of the helpless women who cannot act to defend their city, but must trust that they will be saved and can only fear what will happen if their menfolk fail - provides a different angle from the standard point of view of the brave defending warrior or war-leader, which even today I feel is too often the only focus of war stories. I did agree the conclusion dragged on, and apparently this part might be a post-Aeschylus add-on. I did quite like the idea of the divided chorus exiting in different directions though.

The Persians was simple propaganda. Here we lose the complex motivations and perspectives that I praised in Aeschylus's other works - although we take the "perspective" of the defeated Persians, the whole play is them lamenting how much they suck and talking about how awesome the Greeks are. The conclusion to this one reeeeally dragged. Yes yes, tears and beating your breasts, I get it. For Athenians of the time, however, this would have been more meaningful - a celebration of their victory.

And with that, I have finished all of Aeshylus's surviving works, probably about 10% of what he actually wrote. Pretty impressed overall, let's see what future playwrights do with the material.… (more)

In addition to lively, clear translations of this trilogy, Roche includes appendices in which he describes his intention in translating, the ironic depiction of Clytemnestra, how the theology of Aeschylus in the three plays reflects evolving Greek understanding of God, and an informative overview of the theater in ancient Greece. I often referred to the glossary since I have a hard time keeping the Greek pantheon and heroes straight. (less) [edit]

The Oresteia: Agamemnon; The Libation Bearers; The… by Aeschylus

My edition had a 100 page introduction that was frankly a chore to get through. I feel bad because clearly Phillip Vellacott (the editor) was extremely passionate about the trilogy, but that was so much introduction.

The Orestia seeks to answer that time-honoured question: If your mum kills your dad, are you morally obligated to kill your mum?

In all seriousness, Orestes is in a no-win situation. He is honour-bound to avenge his father, but will be cursed forever if he kills his mother.

Aeschylus's answer to this is to illustrate the transition from an eternal vengeance-fuelled cycle of violence to a civilised justice system. At least one person I spoke to considered this a "cop-out" but I quite like it. It give the cycle a greater meaning and raises a mirror to our own ideas of justice and retribution.

My only prior experience with Aeschylus had been my study of Aristophanes' The Frogs in high school, in which Aeschylus is portrayed as an old-fashioned fuddy-duddy whose works nevertheless come out more worthy than later, more cynical playwrights.

I was surprised at the sophistication of the writing - all the characters have their own motives and perspectives. Although Clytaemnestra is portrayed as a villain, you can easily see how she ended up where she did.

Cassandra was my favourite character, perhaps because she was the only person involved who hadn't done anything wrong (unless you count offending Apollo!).

There are also very sophisticated layers of symbolism and intense, evocative imagery. I enjoyed the ominous imagery of the furies gathering on the roof, signifying the feminine fury soon to fill the house.

Here's some excerpts I particularly liked, this one because it's low key kinda hot:

Oh but a man's high daring spirit,
who can account for that? Or woman's
desperate passion daring past all bounds?
She couples with every form of ruin known to mortals.
Woman, frenzied, driven wild with lust,
twists the dark, warm harness
of wedded love - tortures man and beast!

An this one because I read it just as the 2024 US persedential election concluded:

But ancient Violence longs to breed,
new violence comes
when its fatal hour comes, the demon comes
to take her toll - no war, no force no prayer
can hinder the midnight Fury stamped
with parent Fury moving through the house.

But justice shines in sooty hovels,
loves the decent life.
From proud halls crusted with gilt by filthy hands
she turns her eyes to find the pure in spirit -
spurning the wealth stamped counterfeit with praise,
she steers all things towards their destined end.

Aristophanes concluded that it was Aeschylus Athens needed as its defeat loomed on the horizon. Perhaps it is Aeschylus we also need now, to remind us how we must suffer through violence and disaster and into true justice.… (more)
