Absorbed only in its literary beauty, I had read repeatedly the masterpiece of the first and greatest of the Greek dramatists before I was impelled to fathom the interior sense which it holds. Having discovered a wealth of hidden meaning in the sublime drama of Aischylos, I decided to share it with those pursuing the same line of study. Each of the persons in the drama is a mystical personification.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
