Abstract
Politics and Tragedy in Aeschylus: approaches the configuration process of Aeschylu’s tragedy, related to the idea that in his work intrinsic conceptualizations of greek culture are found, which are the base for Athenian political development. Thus, tragedies in Aeschylus will be analyzed under this premise. With the objetive to reflect these conceptualizations and understand how the Aeschylus work enrolls in the opposition of opposites present from philosophy to politics and how there exists a search for harmony in his tragedies. In his productions the opposition of contraries will be observed, as guidelines of tragedy and politics; also the evolution of justice will be observed from the law of retaliation, to the divine law until the instauration of human justice with the arrival of Areopagus’ amity. These concepts represent the corollary of political philosophical sustenance inserted in Aeschylus, the confrontation of opposites (power), its proximity (politics) and the search of harmony (democracy) as a vital purpose.
