About Aeschylus
Aeschylus was an ancient Greek tragedian who is often described as the father of tragedy. He was born in 525/524 BC in Eleusis, a small town near Athens. Aeschylus is known for introducing a second actor to the stage, which allowed for more dynamic interactions and dialogue in his plays. His works, including famous tragedies like 'The Oresteia' and 'Prometheus Bound', explored themes of justice, fate, and the nature of the gods.
