Eschyle est le plus ancien des trois grands tragiques grecs. Treize fois vainqueur du concours tragique, il est l'auteur d'environ 110 pièces dont sept seulement nous ont été transmises. Le théâtre d'Eschyle est essentiellement remarqué pour sa force dramatique, la tension, l'angoisse qui habite ses pièces, dont la cohérence se comprend surtout par la progression qui les reliait au sein de trilogies "liées", dont ne subsiste aujourd'hui que l'Orestie.

According to George Bernard Shaw, Joan of Arc was in fact one of the first Protestant martyrs. She was one of the first apostles of nationalism, and the first French practitioner of Napoleonic realism in warfare. She also refused to accept the specific woman's lot, and dressed and fought and lived as men did. Shaw's exploration of the story of this ingenuous and eponymous heroine is set in six scenes and an epilogue, which takes place in 1456, when the church cleared Joan of the charge of heresy and condemned her accusers of corruption.
