Aischylos

Αἰσχύλος (Aeschylos), along with Sophocles and Euripides, is one of the earliest Greek tragedians whose work survived into the modern era. He is often concidered the 'father of tragedy.'

The inscription on his gravestone reads :
 * Αἰσχύλον Εὐφορίωνος Ἀθηναῖον τόδε κεύθει
 * μνῆμα καταφθίμενον πυροφόροιο Γέλας·
 * ἀλκὴν δ' εὐδόκιμον Μαραθώνιον ἄλσος ἂν εἴποι
 * καὶ βαθυχαιτήεις Μῆδος ἐπιστάμενος
 * (Beneath this stone lies Aeschylus, son of Euphorion, the Athenian,
 * who perished in the wheat-bearing land of Gela;
 * of his noble prowess the grove of Marathon can speak,
 * and the long-haired Persian knows it well)
 * and the long-haired Persian knows it well)
