The book includes the works of the great ancient Greek playwright Aeschylus (525-456 BC), who is rightly called the father of European tragedy. It was in his work that the essential evolution of this genre took place: bright, psychologically verified characters appeared, static has disappeared, dialogue acquired more importance on the stage. Just for these innovations, Aeschylus was highly appreciated by Aristotle, and V.G. Belinsky called him one of the greatest national geniuses.
The power of Aeschylus and its tragedies, which ended up endlessly and rethought the subsequent generations of playwrights, is that the reader and viewer, as Viktor Hugo correctly noted, encounter something “grandiose and mysterious”, “superior to all known size and quantities. The scale of Aeschylus is such that his works, they reach us intact, would be something like a Greek Bible.
The real edition includes all the tragedies of Aeschylus, which came to us in full: the trilogy of Orestei, Persians, Processors, Seven Against Thebes and Prometheus Coicated
