Aeschylus (Greek: Αισχύλος; c. 524/525 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 recognized as the father of tragedy.
His name derives from the Greek word aiskhos (αισχος), meaning “shame”.
