A proposito di questo titolo
 Aeschylus The Persians (Persai) stands as the earliest surviving play from his oeuvre, first performed in 472 BC. Drawing from his own experiences, particularly the pivotal Battle of Salamis, this remarkable work is distinct among Greek tragedies for its portrayal of a recent historical event. It delves into the theme of hubris, attributing Persias defeat to the arrogance of its king, Xerxes. As the second part of a now-lost trilogy that triumphed at Athens’ City Dionysia festival, with Pericles as choregos, The Persians is a profound exploration of pride and downfall. The first play, Phineus, likely revolved around Jason and the Argonauts quest to rescue King Phineus from the monstrous harpies, while the third, Glaucus, tells of a mythical figure either cursed by Aphrodite or transformed into a prophetic sea deity. In this poignant drama, Xerxes invites divine wrath through his ill-fated expedition against Greece in 480/79 BCE, culminating in the staggering defeat of his navy at Salamis. Aeschylus himself fought at Marathon (490 BC) and possibly at Salamis, lending a personal depth to this timeless tale of pride and consequence.
