Aeschylus was the first whose work survived and is credited as the Father of Tragedy\u003c\/b\u003e, though the other two are probably better known in the West today. He was famous even among his contemporaries; Aristotle mentions how he revolutionized plays by creating more characters and having them interact with each other to produce conflict. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSome of the Ancient Greeks’ most famous characters are famous because of Aeschylus, none more so than Orestes.\u003c\/b\u003e Aeschylus is believed to have written nearly 100 plays, but less than 10 survived, chief among them being the trilogy known as \u003ci\u003eThe Oresteia\u003c\/i\u003e, consisting of the three tragedies \u003ci\u003eAgamemnon\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Libation Bearers\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Eumenides\u003c\/i\u003e. He’s also credited for \u003ci\u003ePrometheus Bound\u003c\/i\u003e, though the authorship of that one is still in dispute. \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Waxkeep Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47136047825136,"sku":"9781625390493","price":1.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781625390493_p0.jpg?v=1763860846","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781625390493","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
