Aeschylus 526 BCE-457 BCE creator Zervos, I. (Ioannes) 1875-1944 text utu 2012 monographic el 1 online resource : multiple file formats "Πέρσαι" by Aeschylus is a tragedy written in 472 BCE. It is the oldest surviving complete Greek tragedy and uniquely draws from recent historical events—the Battle of Salamis, which occurred just seven years before its performance. The play unfolds in the Persian capital of Susa, where anxious elders and the Queen Mother await news from the expedition led by King Xerxes. Through the Persian perspective, Aeschylus explores themes of hubris, the devastating consequences of unchecked ambition, and the dangers of despotic power.
