About this work
The oldest surviving play in world theatre and the only Greek tragedy based on a historical event. In the palace at Susa, Atossa, mother of Xerxes, and a chorus of Persian elders wait for news of the army; a messenger reports the defeat at Salamis, the ghost of Darius rises from his tomb, and Xerxes returns broken. Aeschylus, who had fought at Salamis, tells the story through Persian grief.
کهن‌ترین نمایشنامهٔ بازمانده از تئاتر جهان و تنها تراژدی یونانی بر پایهٔ رویدادی تاریخی. در کاخ شوش، آتوسا، مادر خشایارشا، و همسرایان پیران پارسی چشم‌به‌راه خبر لشکرند؛ پیکی شکست نبرد سالامیس را گزارش می‌کند، روح داریوش از گور برمی‌خیزد و خشایارشا شکسته بازمی‌گردد. آیسخولوس که خود در سالامیس جنگیده بود، داستان را از نگاه سوگ ایرانیان روایت می‌کند.
