Biography
Aeschylus was born around 525 BCE in Eleusis near Athens and is considered the father of Greek tragedy. He introduced the second actor and thereby made dramatic dialogue possible. Of his approximately ninety dramas, seven survive. His Oresteia is the only completely preserved trilogy of antiquity. Aeschylus fought in the Battle of Marathon and died around 456 BCE in Gela on Sicily.
