He paid a second visit about 472, the year in which he had produced the Persae at Athens; and the play is said to have been repeated at Syracuse at his patron's request.
But its real aim is not the "pity and terror" of the developed drama; it is the triumphant glorification of Athens, the exultation of the whole nation gathered in one place, over the ruin of their foe.
Thus, both as an historic drama and in its real effect, the Persae was an experiment; and, as far as we know, the experiment was not repeated either by the author or his successors.

 Sardis article - Sardis Lydia Roman Empire Byzantine Tmolus Persae Aeschylus 472 Iliad - What-Means.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Sardis, the capital of the ancient kingdom of Lydia, the seat of a conventus under the Roman Empire, and the metropolis of the province Lydia in later Roman and Byzantine times, was situated in the middle Hermus valley, at the foot of Mt. Tmolus, a steep and lofty spur of which formed the citadel.
The earliest reference to Sardis is in the Persae of Aeschylus (472 BC); in the Iliad the name Hyde seems to be given to the city of the Maeonian (i.e.
Lydian) chiefs, and in later times Hyde was said to be the older name of Sardis, or the name of its citadel.

 Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2001.04.09   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
He concludes that, although many critics have found the suggestion distasteful, the Persae is in fact a highly patriotic, even chauvinistic, play, whose Persian focus is not intended to invoke sympathy for the plight of the defeated but to point up the contrast between Athenian virtues and Persian vices.
Throughout his analysis, Harrison seeks also to consider the readings of the Persae produced by those critics who have gone before him; one of the merits of this book is that it presents a lucid and detailed overview of the major trends in twentieth-century scholarship relating to the play.
This is a reading which tackles a wide range of issues and themes to reveal the Persae as a complex work which is as multi-faceted as the society in which it was first performed.

The play Persae (Persians) by Aeschylus and the trilogy of which it was a part focus instead upon an historical event-- the Persian Wars.
The titles of over seventy plays written by Aeschylus are known, but only seven of his tragedies survive.
Persae provides an important window onto how the Athenians, or at least one Athenian, responded to the Persian Wars and to this violent encounter with the other.

The bridging of the Hellespont is thus—already by Aeschylus (Persae 745 ff.)—characterized as a conscious sin of subjugating the elements, when Xerxes ordered his men to whip the sea and have shackles sunk down in it after the storm had destroyed an initial bridge (7.34-35; Briquel and Desnier, 1983; Eckstein, 1981/83 [1989]).
A new pontoon bridge of 700 ships was built (7.36), across which the gigantic army later was driven under the lash for seven days and seven nights (7.56.1).
Herodotus adopts Aeschylus's figure of 1,207 boats (Persae 339 ff.), which on their part represent homage to the 1,186 ships of the Iliad.

 Thucydides and his Predecessors
Since there are other echoes of Aeschylus' depiction of Salamis in the Persae in the closing sections of the Sicilian narrative, Thucydides' oligoi apo pollon can plausibly be read as an allusion to this very passage of the Persae.
These allusions reinforce the broader pattern of allusions to Herodotus' depiction of the Persian Wars: I turn now to explore how that pattern is itself reinforced by Herodotean elements in Thucydides' grand closure to the Sicilian narrative.
1, cites the Persae against this; and the forcefulness of the polar expression probably renders Hammond's qualms about the position of pezoi unnecessary.
