Aeschylus, often considered the “father of tragedy,” represents a fundamental pillar not only of Hellenic culture but of the entire Western tradition. His work is distinguished by thematic depth, psychological complexity of characters and formal innovation that enriched the theatrical landscape of antiquity. His plays, foremost among them the Oresteia trilogy, address universal themes such as justice, fate, and the human condition, posing questions that continue to resonate in the contemporary age. The importance of Aeschylus in our culture also lies in his ability to combine the tragic with a dimension of spiritual elevation. His tragedies not only explore moral conflict, but often offer glimpses of redemption and hope to the point of composing a dualism that has significantly influenced the Western literary tradition, inspiring generations of playwrights, poets and philosophers, from Sophocles to Shakespeare to modern playwrights. This edition presents all of Aeschylus' tragedies in chronological order: Persians, Seven Against Thebes, Suppliant Maidens, Prometheus Bound, Agamemnon, Libation Bearers, Eumenides.
