The Aeschylus Episode
Manage episode 418687901 series 2468777
Seven plays survive out of more than 70 written by Aeschylus during his lifetime. Last week, I covered The Oresteia, his famous trilogy, and this week I cover his four other surviving tragedy plays.
I highlight the following three contrasts I’ve found throughout Greek Literature and share what we learn within these Aeschylean plays:
* Fate vs The Will of Zeus
* Ares (force) vs the Areopagus (debate/civilization)
* Family Curse vs Human Agency
