The playwright AESCHYLUS was the unfortunate victim of his own receding hairline. Clifton Fadiman, writing in the Little, Brown Book of Anecdotes, describes the doom of Aeschylus this way: "Ancient biographies record the tradition that his death came about when an eagle, which had seized a tortoise and was looking to smash the reptile's shell, mistook the poet's bald head for a stone and dropped the tortoise upon him." Other sources identify the bird as a vulture. The incident is recounted in the Alexandre Dumas book Louise de la Valliere, among other places.
