The tragedies of Aeschylus
Book • 2017
Aeschylus's tragedies are some of the most significant works in ancient Greek literature.
The 'Oresteia' trilogy, which includes 'Agamemnon', 'The Choephori', and 'The Eumenides', is the only complete trilogy that has survived from ancient Greek theater.
These plays explore themes of guilt, justice, and the intervention of the gods, particularly focusing on the cursed House of Atreus.
The trilogy was first performed at the Dionysia festival in Athens in 458 BCE and won the first prize.
Aeschylus's works are known for their technical and dramatic complexity, as well as their profound poetic inspiration.
