520			_aThe earliest dramas of western civilization Aeschylus' first three surviving tragedies - Suppliants, Seven Against Thebes and Persians - are collected here with the fragments of lost dramas and works by other dramatists which were attributed to him. Suppliants dramatizes the powerful story of the daughters of Danaos, determined not to be forced into marriage against their will. Seven Against Thebes vividly evokes the tensions in a city under siege, as Eteokles fends off an invading force led by his brother. Persians portrays with sympathy the sufferings inflicted on Persia when the Greeks defeated Xerxes' invasion force at Salamis. Prometheus Bound is an allegorical drama of cosmic strife between Zeus and Prometheus. The most comprehensive paperback available, with new translations, text summary, glossary and chronology of Aeschylus' life and times, and extensive notes on the text and on the staging of the dramas
