~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Aeschylus was the earliest of the three greatest Greek tragedians, the others being Sophocles and Euripides. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Born in Eleusis, a district of Athens, he wrote his first plays in 498 BC, but his earliest surviving play is possibly The Suppliants, written in approximately 490 BC. That same year, he participated in the Battle of Marathon, and in 480 BC he fought at the Battle of Salamis. Salamis was the subject of his play The Persians, written in 472 BC; it is possible that The Suppliants was written after this, making The Persians his earliest surviving play.
