Are there any movies based on Aeschylus's plays?

Answer 1

Yes, Aeschylus is considered by some to be the greatest writer ever. He was born in a noble family, a few miles from Athens. Aeschylus is the founder of the classic ancient Greek drama and was the first to launch impressive costumes on stage. His heroes were greater than life, always descent, even in their most dramatic moments. In his plays he was questioning everything, including gods. People would walk for days to see his new play.Filmography (from the internet Movie Database, see related links below)
