Never Hurts to Research More

 It might not seem necessary when researching a play, to research the playwright and his life, but it never hurts to have more information.  It's definitely better to know than not know.  "I'd rather have it and not need it, than need it and not have it" - A.V.P

Aeschylus was a Greek dramatist, born at Eleusis, near Athens.  He is said to have written 90 plays, of which the titles of 79 are known, though only seven are extant: the Suppliant Women (? c.490 BC), the Persians (472), the Seven against Thebes (469), the Prometheus Bound (? c.460), and the trilogy known as the Oresteia (the Agamemnon, the Choephori, or Libation-Bearers, and the Eumenides)
