Aeschelus Knihy

Aischylos, starogrécky dramatik, je často označovaný za otca tragédie. Rozšíril počet postáv v hrách, aby umožnil ich vzájomný konflikt, a jeho diela, z ktorých sa zachovala len hŕstka, odrážajú historické udalosti, ako boli perzské invázie. Aischylova tvorba sa ponára do hlbín ľudskej psychiky a etických dilem, pričom jeho štýl je charakterizovaný vznešenosťou a silou jazyka. Skúmal témy osudu, božskej spravodlivosti a ľudskej zodpovednosti, čím položil základy pre budúce generácie dramatikov.
