His profound exploration of human suffering, divine justice, and moral responsibility continues to resonate with readers centuries after his death. His works, including "The Oresteia," established many of the conventions of the genre. Aeschylus's innovative use of dramatic techniques, such as the introduction of a second actor, revolutionized theatrical performance.
