Aeschylus

Aeschylus was an ancient Greek tragedian often described as the father of tragedy, having transformed the art form by introducing dialogue between characters and reducing the role of the chorus. Born around 525 BC, Aeschylus fought at the Battle of Marathon and wrote approximately seventy to ninety plays, of which seven survive. His masterpiece, the Oresteia trilogy — comprising Agamemnon, The Libation Bearers, and The Eumenides — is the only complete trilogy surviving from ancient Greek theatre and remains one of the foundational works of Western drama. Audiobook performances of Aeschylus bring the power and grandeur of ancient Greek tragedy to modern listeners.
