Prometheus Bound; the Suppliants; Seven Against Thebes; the Persians
The first of the great Greek tragedians, Aeschylus wrote many plays, of which seven survive. The four in this volume, one based on contemporary events, the others on myth, reflect the morality of contemporary Athens - that is, that reason is the proper principle of civilized life.
