Aeschylus is hailed as the "Father of Tragedy". His poineering spirit and literary talents have won him numerous competition in ancient Greece. 2,500 years later, his works are still being performed in today's theatres. This proved that his works and his underlying philosphies remain relevant.
Here are some lessons that we can learn from Aeschylus.
