He enters the account as a name from the distant Greek past, his presence carried by words rather than by any glimpse of the man himself. What lingers is the curious image attributed to his writing: nomads dwelling in huts poised to travel.

Aeschylus appears as an ancient authority whose description of Scythian nomads is recalled in the account. He is associated with their latticed dwellings, set high upon wheels and ready to move across the open land. Beyond this passing reference, the text gives no further account of his life or character.
Description
The text supplies no physical description of Aeschylus: his build, complexion, hair, eyes, facial features, clothing, and distinguishing marks are not stated. Any more specific portrait would be conjecture.
