Creators: Aeschylus (526 BCE-457 BCE) and E. D. A. Morshead (1849-1912) [Translator] "The House of Atreus; Being the Agamemnon, the Libation bearers, and the Furies" by Aeschylus is a trilogy of Greek tragedies written in the 5th century BC. When King Agamemnon returns victorious from Troy, his wife Clytemnestra awaits with murderous plans. Her killing unleashes a cycle of vengeance as their son Orestes must choose between honoring his father and sparing his mother. The plays explore the brutal clash between personal revenge and justice, as Greek gods and the relentless Furies intervene in mortal affairs. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
