Tragedy Aeschylus
Aeschylus was born in an ancient aristocratic family and spent his boyhood under the tyranny of hippias (525-51 BC). At that time, the struggle between the aristocrats and civilians in Athens was very fierce, and Ulysses was the center of the aristocratic forces in Athens. In 59 BC, Cleisthenes carried out reforms, which led Athens to a new stage of democratic development. He began to like drama and the poems of Agassocles and Apollo very early. Legend has it that Dionysus personally taught him the art of poetry in his dream. He also played a role in his plays in his early years. At the age of 25, he took part in the poet competition in Athens for the first time, but he didn't win.
Shortly thereafter, the increasingly sharp and fierce contradiction between Greece and Persia led to the famous "Greek-Persian War" in ancient history. He took part in the marathon in the first 49 years, in which his brother was killed. After the destruction of Athens 48 years ago, he participated in the naval battle of Salamis in the Greek fleet. Aeschylus went to Sicily many times, where he met the poets Simonides Of Ceos and Pindar in 475.
472 years ago, he returned to Athens, where his Persian was first staged, which was his recollection of his wartime experience. The play won the highest prize in the poet competition. He lost to Sophocles in the first 468 years, but he won the best prize in 13 Athens poet competitions in his life.
When he went to Sicily for the last time, he failed to return to Athens in time. It is said that he was killed by a turtle falling from the sky. He was buried in Guerra, and his tombstone read:
Under the tombstone, Aeschylus, the son of Auveron, an Athenian, fell asleep.
Death defeated him in the fertile Guerra.
But the battlefield of marathon can prove his bravery,
Even the Medes with long hair have to admit it.
This epitaph was written by Aeschylus himself.
After the death arrived in Athens, the Athenians decided that his play could continue to be staged in the competition (not as a competition play). As long as his tragedy was staged, the performer who applied for it could get a free singing team.
