Aeschelus Knihy

Aischylos, starořecký dramatik, je často označován za otce tragédie. Rozšířil počet postav ve hrách, aby umožnil jejich vzájemný konflikt, a jeho díla, z nichž se dochovala jen hrstka, odrážejí historické události, jako byly perské invaze. Aischylova tvorba se noří do hlubin lidské psychiky a etických dilemat, přičemž jeho styl je charakterizován vznešeností a silou jazyka. Zkoumal témata osudu, božské spravedlnosti a lidské odpovědnosti, čímž položil základy pro budoucí generace dramatiků.
