Aeschylus ( c. 525/524 BC – c. 455/456 BC) was the first of the three ancient Greek tragedians whose work has survived, the others being Sophocles and Euripides, and is often described as the father of tragedy. His name derives from the Greek word aiskhos (α?σχος), meaning "shame".According to Aristotle, he expanded the number of characters in plays to allow for conflict amongst them; previously, characters interacted only with the chorus. Only seven of his estimated seventy to ninety plays have survived into modern times; and there is a longstanding debate about his authorship of one of these plays, Prometheus Bound.
At least one of Aeschylus's works was influenced by the Persian invasion of Greece, which took place during his lifetime. His play The Persians is a source of information about this period in Greek history. So important was the war to Aeschylus and the Greeks that, upon his death around 456 BC, his epitaph commemorated his participation in the Greek victory at Marathon rather than his success as a playwright.

　　埃斯库罗斯，公元前525年出生于希腊阿提卡的埃琉西斯。青年时期在希皮阿斯的暴政下度过，希波战争期间参加过马拉松战役和萨拉米斯战役，热爱祖国，拥护民主制。公元前470年应叙拉古僭主希埃隆邀请赴西西里作客，公元前458年以后不久重赴西西里，最后死在该岛南部的革拉城。他是古希腊悲剧诗人，与索福克勒斯和欧里庇得斯一起被称为是古希腊最伟大的悲剧作家，有“悲剧之父”、“有强烈倾向的诗人”的美誉。
