«Tragedias completas» is the volume of tragedies by Aeschylus, published by Ediciones Cátedra in paperback (504 pages, in Spanish).
It brings together the seven surviving tragedies of Aeschylus: «Los Persas», «Los Siete contra Tebas», «Las Suplicantes», «Prometeo encadenado» and the trilogy «La Orestía». Written in fifth-century BC Athens, they still affect today's spectator or reader; this edition offers them in a rhythmic version.
It belongs to the Letras Universales collection and features an edition by José Alsina Clota; it is the tenth edition.
Reference work for students and enthusiasts of classical theatre and ancient Greek literature.
Aeschylus was an ancient Greek tragedian, often described as the father of tragedy. Academic 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. Formerly, characters interacted only with the chorus.
