AESCHYLUS Persians

Color: Navy

Tragedy! When the feeling's gone and you can't go on, why not deck yourself out in this cool cotton t-shirt celebrating some seriously old school magnanimity. 

Eschewing Greek triumphalism, Aeschylus' play humanises a vanquished enemy, offering an empathetic portrayal of Dareios and his Persians as they grappled with their devastating loss. In presenting the grief and despair of a foreign enemy with dignity and pathos, Aeschylus broke new ground in classical literature. This pioneering effort paved the way for more nuanced portrayals of conflict in literature and remains the forerunner of empathy in storytelling.

This t-shirt pays homage to a meditation on human suffering that transcends national boundaries. Get it now.
