Aeschylus
-
The “Father of Greek tragedy” (525–456 BC) was born near Athens but made extended visits to Sicily. Only seven of around 500 plays have survived the centuries, among them Agamemnon , Oedipus and Prometheus Bound . Many of his plays were premiered in Syracuse’s theatre (see Greek Theatre), where they are still performed.
