ESQUILO Esquilo(525-456 a.C.), dramaturgo griego nacido en Eleusis, cerca de Atenas, fue el primero de los grandes trgicos de esta ciudad. En cuanto predecesor de Sfocles y de Eurpides, es el fundador de la tragedia griega. Combati contra los persas en Maratn, el 490 a.C., en Salamina, el 480 a.C., y posiblemente, en Platea, el ao siguiente. Hizo al menos dos viajes, puede que tres, a Sicilia, y all muri, en Gela, durante su ltima visita. Posteriormente se erigira en este lugar un monumento en memoria suya. Se ha dicho que Esquilo escribi unas noventa obras. Sus tragedias, representadas por primera vez el 500 a.C., se ofrecan como trilogas, o grupos de tres, unidas habitualmente por un asunto comn, y cada triloga vena seguida por un drama satrico (una comedia vulgar en la que intervena un hroe mitolgico, con un coro de stiros). Se conocen los ttulos de 79 de sus obras teatrales, pero slo han sobrevivido siete. La ms antigua Las suplicantes, un drama con poca accin pero con muchas canciones corales de gran belleza; se cree que es la primera obra de una triloga sobre el matrimonio de las cincuenta hijas de Dnao, que inclua las obras Los egipcios y Las danaides. Los persas, presentada el 472 a.C., es una tragedia histrica sobre la batalla de Salamina, y la accin tiene lugar en Persia, en la corte de la madre del rey Jerjes I. Los siete contra Tebas,presentada el 467 a.C., se basa en una leyenda tebana: el conflicto entre los dos hijos de Edipo, Eteocles, y Polinices, por el trono de Tebas. Se cree que es la tercera obra de una triloga, y que las dos primeras son Layo y Edipo. Prometeo encadenado, una obra de fecha incierta, retrata el castigo del rebelde Prometeo por parte de Zeus. Probablemente sea la primera obra de una triloga prometeica, cuyas otras dos seran Prometeo desencadenado y Prometeo el que trae el anillo. Las tres obras restantes, Agamenn, Las coeforas y Las eumnides (Las furias), presentadas el 458 a.C., forman la triloga conocida como la Orestiada, o historia de Orestes.

EURIPIDES (Grecia, -0480 aC--0460 aC) Dramaturgo griego, el tercero junto con Esquilo y Sfocles de los tres grandes poetas trgicos de tica. Su obra, enormemente popular en su poca, ejerci una influencia notable en el teatro romano. Posteriormente su influencia se advierte en el teatro del renacimiento como en los dramaturgos franceses Pierre Corneille y Jean Baptiste Racine. Segn la tradicin, Eurpides naci en Salamina, un 23 de septiembre probablemente del ao 480 a.C., el da de la gran batalla naval entre los griegos y los persas. Sus padres, segn afirman ciertos expertos, pertenecan a la nobleza; en opinin de otros, sin embargo, eran de origen humilde. Su hijo, en cualquier caso, recibi una esmerada educacin. Las obras de Eurpides comenzaron a representarse en los festivales dramticos de tica durante el ao 454 a.C., pero hasta el ao 442 a.C. el autor no obtuvo el primer premio. Esta distincin, pese a su prolfico talento, no recay sobre l ms que en cuatro ocasiones. Adems de sus escritos se interes muy especialmente por la filosofa y la ciencia Si bien Eurpides no se identific personalmente con una determinada escuela filosfica, recibi la influencia de los sofistas y de filsofos como Protgoras, Anaxgoras y Scrates. Fue un hombre austero, y se consideraba incomprendido por sus contemporneos, conclusin que, por lo dems, no carece de fundamento, pues fue frecuentemente objeto de ataques por parte de los escritores atenienses de comedia: Aristfanes lanz contra l una stira en Las ranas (405 a.C.). Las obras de Eurpides eran criticadas por su carcter anticonvencional, por sus dilogos naturales (sus hroes y prncipes hablaban un lenguaje cotidiano) y por su independencia de los valores morales y religiosos tradicionales. A pesar de todo, sus obras se hicieron famosas en toda Grecia. Al final de su vida abandon Atenas y se instal en Macedonia. e las numerosas obras atribuidas a Eurpides se conservan diecisiete tragedias y un drama satrico, Los cclopes. Entre las tragedias de fecha conocida figuran Alcestes (438 a.C.), Medea (431 a.C.), Hiplito (428 a.C.), Las troyanas (415 a.C.), Helena (412 a.C.), Orestes (408 a.C.), Ifigenia en ulide y Las bacantes

(ambas representadas pstumamente en el 405 a.C.). Entre las obras de fecha incierta destacan Andrmaca, Hrcules, Hcuba, Los suplicantes, Electra, Hrcules loco, Ifigenia entre los tauros, In y Las fenicias. HOMERO Nombre completo: Homero Lugar de nacimiento: Grecia Antigua Fecha de nacimiento: Siglo VIII a.C Muri: Siglo VIII a.C Gneros literarios: Poesa / Literatura Universal

Homero fue un poeta de la Antigua Grecia que naci y vivi en el siglo VIII a.C. Es autor de dos de las principales obras de la antigedad: Los poemas picos La Ilada y La Odisea. Muchos historiadores y arquelogos no han llegado a la conclusin sobre si Homero realmente existi o se trata de un personaje legendario, pues no hay pruebas concretas de su existencia. Sus obras pueden haber sido escritas por otros autores antiguos o tal vez son apenas recopilaciones de tradiciones orales del periodo de la poca de la Antigua Grecia. La vida de Homero es una mezcla de leyenda y realidad. De acuerdo con la tradicin, Homero era ciego y pudo haber nacido en cualquier localidad de la Antigua Grecia: Esmirna, Colofon, Atenas, Quios, Rodas, Argos, Itaca o Salamina.
