Abstract
The main purpose of this paper is to show in general lines how divination is a key element in the construction of dramatic strategies in Aeschylus’ seven surviving plays, due to the fact that divination informs and defines both the singularity of the Aeschylean poetry and his worldview. Therefore, first, I will show how the most well-known features of Aeschylean tragedy come as a result of how the poet uses divination in his work. Then I will briefly discuss the presence of divination elements in the seven plays.
