The book at hand presents in detail the life and work of the revered tragic playwright Aeschylus. Both his complete and fragmentary works are analyzed in depth, highlighting the main values and central thematic motifs that are revealed through his lofty verses: the rightful administration of justice in the context of a civilized society, reverence toward the gods, and the unceasing struggle of humanity to defend its honor and reputation against the relentless blows of fate.
Additionally, the unmatched dramatic technique and the robust, magnificent style are extensively examined. It is worth noting that due to the Greek edition, the British author enriched the bibliographic guide of his profound work and made significant changes and improvements to the main text and footnotes.
