Aeschylus' Odd Death

Aeschylus was a Greek playwright. He was often told to be the father of play tragedies. He wrote Agamemnon, The Persians, and Seven Against Thebes.

What really stands out about him is his unusual death. Now to totally get the picture you have to imagine that you are out and about, just walking along, minding your own business, like the playwright was. Suddenly out of the blue sky, an eagle swoops down and releases a weird roundish thing over you. "Oh wait!" You realize  shocked as it drops towards you, "it's a turtle!" Then it connects with your skull, and you go unconscious and this leads to your later death. That's what happened to him. Apparently the eagle was trying to break the tortoise' shell, and thought Aeschylus' head was a rock.  His head kinda does look like a rock.

It was not told if the tortoise lived or not after Aeschylus' head got in it's way. But I know if a tortoise can survive that he can survive anything.

Aeschlysus looking quite scary.
