Aeschylus (Playwright)

Aeschylus was an ancient Greek playwright, often regarded as the father of tragedy. He lived around 525–456 BCE and is best known for introducing dramatic innovations, such as the use of a second actor, which allowed for more complex storytelling. His most famous works include "The Oresteia," a trilogy exploring themes of justice and revenge. Aeschylus’ plays often featured moral and philosophical questions, reflecting the struggles of humanity. His contributions laid the groundwork for future playwrights and the evolution of Western drama. Aeschylus remains a significant figure in literature and theater history.
