Aeschylus

  "What was Aeschylus's view of the Trojan war?"

      The way that Aeschylus describes the remains of Troy, and the Greek's victory was very interesting indeed!

     First of all, we see that the war is said to have been started because a woman named Helen was captured.  The war would last ten long years.

     Once the men returned to their families, we are told that the women are angry because they know that their husbands have most-likely had affairs with the captured women of Troy.

     I think that this shows that Aeschylus's view of the Trojan war was not a "blind view" so to speak.  He noticed the negative qualities that resulted from them and made sure to note of them.  I think that although I'm sure that he saw some good things as a result of the Trojan war, he also noticed the bad.

     Thank you so much for reading, and please let me know what you think!
