This carefully crafted ebook: "The Oresteia Trilogy (Unabridged English
Translation)" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed
table of contents.
The trilogy known as The Oresteia, consists of the three tragedies Agamemnon,
The Libation Bearers and The Eumenides. This trilogy of plays, written a
number of years B.C.E., dramatizes one of the earliest, most culturally
significant myths of Ancient Greek civilization—how a series of revenge/power-
motivated murders in the family of King Agamemnon of Mycenae eventually leads
to the establishment of democratic justice. One of the few surviving complete
examples of Classical Greek drama, the trilogy is populated by archetypal
characters, whose actions explore themes relating to the nature and purpose of
revenge, and the relationship between humanity and spirituality (the gods).
Aeschylus was the earliest of the great Greek tragedians and the principal
creator of Greek drama. He is called the 'Father of Tragedy'.
