Abstract
In a former paper in the QUARTERLY (July, 1934) I attempted an explanation of the nature and methods of Aeschylean tragedy. A few typical comments on various plays will show that there is need for some explanation: of the Seven Against Thebes it has been said, “The first half of the play is in strictness not dramatic at all—a merely static presentment of the situation;” of the Agamemnon, “The drama makes but little progress until it is half over;” of the Choephoroe, “The real action does not begin until the play is half over.”
