Aeschylus was the first of the three ancient Greek tragedians whose
plays can still be read or performed, the others being Sophocles
and Euripides. He is often described as the father of tragedy: our
knowledge of the genre begins with his work and our understanding
of earlier tragedies is largely based on inferences from his
surviving plays. Only seven of his estimated seventy to ninety
plays have survived into modern times. Fragments of some other
plays have survived in quotes and more continue to be discovered on
Egyptian papyrus, often giving us surprising insights into his
work.
