Aeschylus (ca. 525-456 BCE), the dramatist who made Athenian
tragedy one of the world's great art forms, witnessed the
establishment of democracy at Athens and fought against the
Persians at Marathon. He won the tragic prize at the City Dionysia
thirteen times between ca. 499 and 458, and in his later years was
probably victorious almost every time he put on a production,
though Sophocles beat him at least once.
Of his total of about eighty plays, seven survive complete. The
third volume of this edition collects all the major fragments of
lost Aeschylean plays.
