About “The Persians”
Aeschylus's tragedy is set in the Persian capital, where the queen mother and the elders await news of Xerxes's vast expedition against Greece. Their unease deepens with ominous dreams and omens. A messenger arrives to report what befell the king's forces at Salamis, and the ghost of Darius is summoned to interpret the disaster.
