Sažetak
In this article the author writes about religious-ethical emphases in the tragedy “The Persians” by the Greek poet Aeschylus, whom literary scholars consider the
father of tragedy. Growing up during the era of the struggle for democracy and actively fighting in the Greek-Persian wars, Aeschylus, who was of aristocratic origin,
was a poet of exalted sentiment: he celebrated Greek virtues. All of Aeschylus’ plays,
in addition to “The Persians”, try to preserve faith and the sacred in the pantheon by
offering an authentic explanation of tradition.35 The article deals in particular with
those sections in the tragedy that directly or indirectly mention deity, doom , human
conduct that undervalues deity and human laws; and those types of conduct that could
be termed as sin, violence, pride, etc. The article offers interpretative analysis of textual
specimens and explains theories and insights related to particular examples.
