This collection brings together four plays traditionally associated with Aeschylus: Prometheus Bound, The Suppliants, Seven Against Thebes and The Persians. Prometheus Bound turns divine punishment into a drama of authority and resistance; The Suppliants follows refugees seeking protection at Argos; Seven Against Thebes treats dynastic war; and The Persians presents Xerxes’ defeat from inside the Persian court. The volume shows Greek tragedy moving between myth, civic anxiety and recent fifth-century history.
