A poem by Aeschylus (c. 525 – c. 456 Before Christ )
The man who rightly acts without coercion
Will not be grieved, can never wholly sink in wretchedness;
While the lawless criminal is forcibly dragged under
In the current of time when from the shattered mast
The elements rip down his sails.
He shouts, there is no ear to hear him
Struggling, hopeless, at the maelstrom’s center.
Gods laugh at the transgressor now,
Watching him, his pride now wrecked,
Caught in desperation’s shackles.
He flees the rocks in vain;
His fortunes smash on retribution’s reef
And, unmourned, he is engulfed.

Aeschylus (525 Before Christ to 456 B.C.) was an ancient Greek author of Greek tragedy, and is often described as the father of tragedy. Academics’ knowledge of the genre begins with his work, and understanding of earlier Greek tragedy is largely based on inferences made from reading his surviving plays. According to Aristotle, he expanded the number of characters in the theatre and allowed conflict among them.
