A monument of ancient literature, Aeschylus's theatre is made up of nothing but masterpieces, which the most contemporary stage is constantly renewing. In these pages inspired by the constant acquaintance with Aeschylus's poetry, Bernard Deforge, professor emeritus at the University of Caen and author of a thesis on Aeschylus, cosmic poet (Les Belles Lettres, 1986, reissued 2004), brings together all the articles he devoted to the author of the Oresteia throughout his career as a researcher, as well as some unpublished articles relating to the role of Aeschylus in the transmission of prehistoric wisdom and pre-Greek civilizations in Western culture. The work ends with a more personal reflection on the profession of teacher and researcher, drawing an uncompromising portrait of the place of the Sciences of Antiquity within the French university.
