Aeschylus Death Quotations

Of all the gods only death does not desire gifts.

Pain lays not its touch upon a corpse.

The field of doom bears death as its harvest.

Unjustly men hate death, which is the greatest defence against their many ills.

Call no man happy till he is dead.

A man dies not for the many wounds that pierce his breast, unless it be that life's end keep pace with death, nor by sitting on his hearth at home doth he the more escape his appointed doom.

For a single path leads to the house of Hades.

But when once the earth has sucked up a dead man's blood, there is no way to raise him up.

Death is softer by far than tyranny.
