Answer:

Aeschylus is considered the father of Greek tragedy.

Step-by-step explanation:

Aeschylus -Greek: Aiskhylos-, born in 525 BC in Eleusis, is often recognized as the frather of tragedy because he wrote the first three tragedies in Greece and the academics' analysis on this genre begun with his work . Only an estimated of 10% of his plays have survived to the present. He died in 456 BC in the city of Gela.
