Aeschylus quotes
Aeschylus was an ancient Greek playwright, often regarded as the father of tragedy. His surviving works, including the famous Oresteia trilogy, greatly influenced the development of Greek drama. He introduced important theatrical innovations and expanded the number of characters on stage. Here are 233 of his quotes:
I pray the gods will give me some relief and end this weary job. One long full year I've been lying here, on this rooftop, the palace of the sons of Atreus, resting on my arms, just like a dog. I've come to know the night sky, every star, the powers we see glittering in the sky, bringing winter and summer to us all, as the constellations rise and sink.
