The surviving tragedies
1. The surviving tragedies
Of the many tragedies known to have been written, full-length texts by only three authors,Aeschylus,
Sophocles and Euripides, survive.
Aeschylus
Aeschylus
Seventy-nine titles of Aeschylus'works are known (out of about ninety works),[32] both tragedies and satyr
plays. Seven of these have survived, including the only complete trilogy which has come down from
antiquity, the Oresteia, and some papyrus fragments:[33]
The Persians (Πέρσαι / Persai), 472 BC;
Seven Against Thebes (Ἑπτὰ ἐπὶ Θήβας / Hepta epi Thebas), 467 BC;
Suppliants (Ἱκέτιδες / Hiketides), probably 463 BC;
The trilogy Oresteia (Ὀρέστεια / Oresteia), 458 BC, consisting of:
o Agamemnon (Ἀγαμέμνων / Agamemnon);
o Choephoroi (Χοηφόροι / Choefοroi);
o Furies (Εὐμενίδες / Eumenides);
Prometheus Bound (Προμηθεὺς δεσμώτης / Prometheus desmotes) of uncertain date and
considered spurious by some scholars.[note 6]
Sophocles
2. Sophocles
According to Aristophanes of Byzantium, Sophocles wrote 130 plays, 17 of which are spurious; the Suda
lexicon counted 123.[34][note 7] Of all Sophocles's tragedies,only seven remain intact:

Apart from the plays that have survived in their entirety, we also possess a large part of the satyrplay

quarters of this work.[35]
