Aeschylus

Aeschylus Eleusis, 525 BC - Gela, 456 BC, Greek playwright. Predecessor of Sophocles and Euripides is considered the creator of Greek tragedy.

Although the subject to write about him, not his life, work, etc.. That you can see it on Wikipedia but

I WILL WRITE ABOUT HIS DEATH

And is that man, because he had no luck, because after a life of struggle in war defending their country, major works to his credit, a life of appreciation and intellectualism was lucky because not die as he died of a is a little funny, because according to tradition:

Aeschylus was sitting quietly in the field when an eagle mistook his bald head with a rock, and dropped their jaws carrying the turtle to the supposed rock the departed and could eat it.

Aeschylus died of skull fracture that caused the turtle.

At least it is the memory of being remembered for his military achievements in the battle of Marathon as his epitaph reads:

This tomb lies the dust of Aeschylus
Euphorion son and fruitful Gela's pride
Of its value witnessed Marathon
and long-haired Medes, who had too much of it

Epitaph Source: Wikipedia

And not like the man who died for being mistaken for a rock with an eagle and hit a turtle that fell from the air when released from their clutches, but after learning that to see who is remembered for his military, lol, or for his achievements as a playwright or poet, that just is what he wanted.

Conclusion: Take care in the field, be happy.
