1. Aeschylus on the importance of radical democratic process in his play, the Suppliant Women:
Introduction:
-Aeschylus, (born 525/524—died 456/455 BC, Gela, Sicily), Greek tragic dramatist.
-This is the first and only surviving play of a trilogy probably put on in 463.
-It was long believed by scholars that Suppliants (Greek Hiketides; Latin Supplices) was one of Aeschylus’ earliest plays because of its archaic structure; its chorus, representing the daughters of Danaus (the Danaïds), takes the leading role in the action. (you could mention all of this, but I think just mentioning that it was one of his earliest plays is good)
-Discuss very briefly the context of the play and transition into speaking about radical democratic process
Body:
-Discuss what radical democratic process is more in-depth
-Include a specific reference in the body at some point
-Once you’ve mentioned what it is, then speak about it’s importance relative to Aeschylus
Conclusion:
-You can mention some more thoughts about radical democratic process
-Try to make the conclusion’s focus more so on your thoughts
-Conclusion doesn’t need to be lengthy, just somewhat of a summary on what you’ve mentioned up to this point
