Ladies:

I must say that the preface to the presentation was quite excellent and certainly aided in making the presentation accessible to your audience. The quotes were germane, though you could have explicated a few of them to more thoroughly inform your audience. Don't allow the video to be the sole mouthpiece; pause and interject and ask questions.
The comparison drawn to Sophocles falls a bit flat as you note the difference being due to "one before the other"--there has to be more than that, and there is. Delve deeper. The same hold true for the comparison you make between Aeschylus and Euripides.
I do appreciate your thorough explication of his themes and his ideology, which is further evinced by the quotes you have chosen to include from his works. I also appreciate how you explore how as a Dramatist, Aeschylus changed the "face" and presentation of drama - a performance medium. I would have liked you to defend is "tragic" hero life; it needs further elaboration.
I would like to see more accessible images, videos, and so forth (contemporary ties), but you include the best one yet: the picture or you two at the MOMA before the bust of the great Greek Tragedians is the about as contemporary and accessible to peers as one can be: you are offering living proof of the "dialogue."
Well done.
Be G,
Mr. B

Aeschylus’ influence on the development of tragedy was fundamental. His plays are of lasting literary value in their majestic and compelling lyrical language. It was this tradition of belief in a just Zeus and in hereditary guilt that Aeschylus received, and which is evinced in many of his plays

Euripides was destined from his birth to be a misunderstood poet. Euripides wrote around 92 tragedies and was hardly noticed. Aeschylus became very popular very quickly. Aeschylus was also significantly older than Euripides.

"The truth has to be melted out of our stubborn lives by suffering. Nothing speaks the truth, nothing tells us how things really are, nothing forces us to know what we do not want to know except pain. And this is how the gods declare their love" (The Oresteia).

Aeschylus was known as the “Father of Tragedy.” He was once sent as a child to watch grapes ripen in the countryside. When he fell asleep though, Dionysus appeared to him in a dream and commanded him to write tragedies. So, Aeschylus began a tragedy the next morning, and he succeeded.

Aeschylus is the first greek tragedian we have full plays from. Sophocles is the second. The dramatic themes of Sophocles's plays are more advanced with many more developed characters. Aeschylus's tragedies are more basic due to him being the earliest writer out of the two.

Aeschylus was known as "The Father of Tragedy." He tried to incorporate more actors into his plays and tried to get the chorus directly involved in the storyline of the play rather than just having them exchange dialogue. He can be credited with introducing skenographia, (scene-decoration). Aeschylus made his costumes more dramatic than other playwrights. No violence is performed on stage, and he set his plays in far-away lands.Aeschylean tragedy deals with the plights, decisions, and fates of individuals with whom the destiny of the community or state is closely bound up; in turn, both individual and community stand in close relation to the gods.
