Seven plays survive out of more than 70 written by Aeschylus during his lifetime. Last week, I covered The Oresteia, his famous trilogy, and this week I cover his four other surviving tragedy plays.

* Fate vs The Will of Zeus

* Ares (force) vs the Areopagus (debate/civilization)

* Family Curse vs Human Agency
