Well, Bill, ladies & gentlemen,
we know the situation as follows:
An eagle (most probably a lammergeier), circling in the sky right above the
poet and carrying a turtle in his claws, is looking for a rock to throw his
prey on, cracking it's shell.
Aischylos' cleanhead, shimmering in the sun, seemes to be exactly the right
target, and ... crack.
Bit unexpected I guess 'cause a poets skull should be one of the most solid
things of the world.
We don't know whether Aischylos, vice versa, served as hammer for the
tartaruga as well.
Best, Matthias

Was his death by an object from the sky just a silly fabrication or did he
get hammered?
