One of the few surviving complete examples of Classical Greek drama, the trilogy is populated by archetypal characters, whose actions explore themes relating to the nature and purpose of revenge, and the relationship between humanity and spirituality (the gods).Aeschylus was the earliest of the great Greek tragedians and the principal creator of Greek drama. He is called the ‘Father of Tragedy’.
