Alas for the affairs of men! When they are fortunate you might compare them to a shadow, and if they are unfortunate a wet sponge with one dash wipes the picture away.
Aeschylus (c. 525/524 – c. 456/455 BC) was an ancient Greek tragedian. He is often described as the father of tragedy. Academics' knowledge of the genre begins with his work, and understanding of earlier tragedies is largely based on inferences from his surviving plays.
