Book Description
This book is an anthology of quotes from Aeschylus and selected facts about Aeschylus. "A great ox stands on my tongue.""A prosperous fool is a grievous burden.""Against necessity, against its strength, no one can fight and win.""Ask the gods nothing excessive.""Be bold and boast, just like the cock beside the hen.""Bronze is the mirror of the form; wine, of the heart.""But time growing old teaches all things.""By polluting clear water with slime you will never find good drinking water.""Call no man happy till he is dead.""Do not kick against the pricks.""Every ruler is harsh whose rule is new.""Fear is stronger than arms.""For hostile word let hostile word be paid.""For know that no one is free, except Zeus.""For the mighty even to give way is grace.""From a small seed a mighty trunk may grow.""God loves to help him who strives to help himself.""Happiness is a choice that requires effort at times." "I say you must not win an unjust case by oaths.""I'm not afraid of storms, for I'm learning to sail my ship.""In war, truth is the first casualty.""It is not the oath that makes us believe the man, but the man the oath.""It is the nature of mortals to kick a fallen man.""Married love between man and woman is bigger than oaths guarded by right of nature."

Book Description
Aeschylus was the first of the three ancient Greek tragedians whose plays can still be read or performed, the others being Sophocles and Euripides. He is often described as the father of tragedy: our knowledge of the genre begins with his work and our understanding of earlier tragedies is largely based on inferences from his surviving plays. Only seven of his estimated seventy to ninety plays have survived into modern times. Fragments of some other plays have survived in quotes and more continue to be discovered on Egyptian papyrus, often giving us surprising insights into his work.

Book Description
The third and final play in Aeschylus' Oedipodea trilogy, Seven Against Thebes is the only one of the three plays that has survived intact to this day. During the course of the action-packed play, seven would-be usurpers storm the city's gates in a series of brutal attacks. Will the family -- still weakened by the curse put on its patriarch, Oedipus -- be able to marshal the strength to fight back?

Book Description
In war, truth is the first casualty.Wisdom comes alone through suffering.Memory is the mother of all wisdom.There is no pain so great as the memory of joy in present grief.Time brings all things to pass.Happiness is a choice that requires effort at times.Obedience is the mother of success and is wedded to safety.A great ox stands on my tongue.There are times when fear is good. It must keep its watchful place at the heart's controls. There is advantage in the wisdom won from pain.Words are the physicians of a mind diseased.
