Aeschylus, also known as the father of tragedy, was an ancient Greek playwright born in Eleusis, near Athens, around 525/524 BC. He came from a wealthy family and began acting in tragedies in Athens in 499 BC. He achieved his first success in 484 BC and went on to write grandiose, complex plays dealing with themes such as justice, the will of the gods, and human action consequences. He is credited with revolutionizing Greek drama by introducing the second actor to the stage. Aeschylus believed devoutly in the power of the gods, and his plays often reflected this belief. He served in the Athenian army during the Persian Wars and wrote plays based on these events, including The Persians. He passed away in Gela, Sicily, in 456/455 BC. Despite his death, his significant legacy in the world of drama continued, and his works remained popular and performed long after he was gone.
