Talk:Aeschylus

From Wikiquote

I'm confused by the "die on your feet...live on your knees" line being called a misattribution when attributed to Aeschylus.

Here's from the Robert Fagles translation of Agamemnon, line 1384:

"Never, better to die on your feet than live on your knees."

So not only is Wikiquote incorrect in calling this a misattribution, it also lists the source of the misattributed/mistranslated line as Prometheus Bound. Which is wrong.
