Über den Autor

Aeschylus was born at Eleusis of a noble family. He fought at the Battle of Marathon (490 b.c.), where a small Greek band heroically defeated the invading Persians. At the time of his death in Sicily, Athens was in its golden age. In all of his extant works, his intense love of Greece and Athens mehr anzeigen finds expression. Of the nearly 90 plays attributed to him, only 7 survive. These are The Persians (produced in 472 b.c.), Seven against Thebes (467 b.c.), The Oresteia (458 b.c.)---which includes Agamemnon, Libation Bearers, and Eumenides (or Furies) --- Suppliants (463 b.c.), and Prometheus Bound (c.460 b.c.). Six of the seven present mythological stories. The ornate language creates a mood of tragedy and reinforces the already stylized character of the Greek theater. Aeschylus called his prodigious output "dry scraps from Homer's banquet," because his plots and solemn language are derived from the epic poet. But a more accurate summation of Aeschylus would emphasize his grandeur of mind and spirit and the tragic dignity of his language. Because of his patriotism and belief in divine providence, there is a profound moral order to his plays. Characters such as Clytemnestra, Orestes, and Prometheus personify a great passion or principle. As individuals they conflict with divine will, but, ultimately, justice prevails. Aeschylus's introduction of the second actor made real theater possible, because the two could address each other and act several roles. His successors imitated his costumes, dances, spectacular effects, long descriptions, choral refrains, invocations, and dialogue. Swinburne's (see Vol. 1) enthusiasm for The Oresteia sums up all praises of Aeschylus; he called it simply "the greatest achievement of the human mind." Because of his great achievements, Aeschylus might be considered the "father of tragedy." (Bowker Author Biography) weniger anzeigen

Kurzbiographie
Aeschylus was an ancient Greek playwright. He is credited with an estimated 92 plays, though only seven have survived into modern times. He is known to have fought at the Battle of Marathon (490 BCE), which influenced his Persians (the only surviving Greek tragedy based on contemporary events) and probably at the Battle of Salamis (480).
Born at Eleusis in 525 BCE, he started producing tragedies at Athens in 499, and had his first victory in 484. He visited Sicily at least twice, and died there at Gela in 456.

Sete contra Tebas, de Ésquilo, é a única peça que chegou até nós de uma tetralogia que inclui Laio, Édipo e a comédia A Esfinge, e que venceu as Dionísias de Atenas em 467 a.C. Como pano de fundo da tragédia, temos a maldição lançada sobre a dinastia dos Labdácidas, reis da cidade-estado de Tebas, na Grécia, que causou o assassinato de Laio, a desgraça de seu filho Édipo, e uma guerra fratricida entre os dois filhos de Édipo, Etéocles e Polinices, para herdar seu trono. A história se inicia quando Polinices, alijado do poder por seu irmão, reúne um exército com mais seis generais gregos e cerca as muralhas de Tebas. Diante da invasão iminente, o rei Etéocles, protagonista da peça, procura acalmar os cidadãos em pânico e organizar a defesa da cidade. Destaca-se no texto a bela passagem em que Etéocles, informado por um espião sobre os sete generais que atacarão as portas de Tebas, identificados por seus escudos, designa os sete guerreiros tebanos que irão enfrentá-los. A extrema plasticidade desta obra-prima do teatro grego é realçada na apurada tradução poética de Trajano Vieira, autor também do posfácio a esta edição bilíngue, que inclui ainda um ensaio historiográfico do helenista inglês Alan H. Sommerstein.… (mehr)

Prometeu Prisioneiro, de Ésquilo (c. 525-456 a.C.), é uma peça única dentre as tragédias gregas, e uma das mais marcantes da história da literatura, tendo influenciado escritores e filósofos como Goethe, Marx, Nietzsche, Freud, Brecht, Camus e muitos outros. Integrante de uma tetralogia perdida, escrita provavelmente no final da vida de seu autor, ela se passa nos primórdios da civilização, após a Titanomaquia, e traz, de forma inédita, seres divinos como protagonistas.

A história tem início quando Força, Poder e Hefesto, por ordem de Zeus, acorrentam Prometeu a uma montanha nos confins do planeta. Preso e prestes a ser castigado, o Titã é visitado pelo coro das Oceânides, por Oceano, por Io e por Hermes, que tentam demovê-lo de seu enfrentamento com o novo chefe do Olimpo.

Verdadeiro libelo contra a tirania, mas também um alerta sobre os excessos do homem contra a natureza, a peça é apresentada aqui na esmerada tradução de Trajano Vieira. Esta edição bilíngue inclui ainda um posfácio do tradutor, excertos da crítica e um ensaio do classicista inglês C. J. Herington, que aborda os múltiplos aspectos desta obra ímpar do teatro grego.

Most characters in this play were despicable. Murderers, adulterers, fools, tyrants, sadists. I just can't feel compassion for any of them. Really hard to think about nuances of justice when i just want them all to die. Perhaps that's the point of the play. It is so emotionally pleasing to imagine justice based on revenge but it might not be a good system in the long run. Hm, did i learn something here?
