  • Summary

  • 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
