Book excerpt: Excerpt from Aeschylus IN order rightly to understand the drama of the Greeks, and especially their tragedy, we must rid our selves, as far as possible, of those associations which now cling in England round the names of play and theatre. For our modern plays are so unlike a Greek tragedy, and the position which they occupy is so entirely different from that of the Athenian theatre, that the few points which both have in common are more likely to impede than assist us.
