Aeschylus significantly transformed Greek theater by introducing the second actor, which allowed for more complex dialogue and dramatic interactions, moving beyond the sole reliance on a chorus. He also expanded the themes of tragedy, exploring profound moral and philosophical questions, often rooted in mythology and the human condition. His works emphasized the importance of divine justice and fate, setting a foundation for future playwrights like Sophocles and Euripides. Overall, Aeschylus elevated theater from mere entertainment to a profound medium for exploring human experience and ethics.
