One of the most successful playwrights of ancient Greece, Aeschylus wrote nearly 90 plays, but today only 7 survive. Credited with introducing a second actor onstage, his plays retell the battles, victories, and social ramifications of life in the golden days of Athens. These plays are 2,500 years old and still performed, for they speak directly to the human psyche.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Agamemnon, The Choephori, The Eumenides (Cliffs Notes) (Paperback)
Writing a paper in a short time table, this helped me find my way to the characters as well as keep focused on the action and order of activity.
