Answer:

Importance of Aeschylus for Greek Tragedy​​

He fought the Persians at the battles of Marathon and Salamis. Aeschylus first won the prize for drama in 484, the year Euripides was born. ... According to Aristotle's Poetics, Aeschylus "reduced the chorus' role and made the plot the leading actor."
