Abstract
In offering an account of how some of Aeschylus’ dramas made it from his day to ours, this chapter focuses on two questions in particular: why the ancient textual tradition of Aeschylus was so tenuous compared to those of Sophocles and (especially) Euripides; and why (despite that weakness) any Aeschylus was preserved at all.
