That? Aeschylus and Euripides!

Eh?

Yes; there's a big business just astir,

And hot dissension among all the dead.

About what?

There's a law established here

Concerning all the large and liberal arts,

Which grants the foremost master in each art

Free entertainment at the Central Hearth,

And also a special throne in Pluto's row

Oh, now I understand!

To hold until

There comes one greater; then he must make way.

But how has this affected Aeschylus?

Aeschylus held the throne of tragedy,

As greatest

Held it? Why, who holds it now?
