Beschreibung

One of the foundational texts of Western literature, the <em>Oresteia</em> trilogy is about cycles of deception and brutality within the ruling family of Argos. In <em>Agamemnon</em>, queen Clytemnestra awaits her husband's return from war to commit a terrible act of retribution. The next plays, radically retitled here as <em>The Women at the Graveside</em> and <em>Orestes</em> in Athens, deal with the aftermath of the regicide, Orestes' search to avenge his father's death and his ceaseless torment. A powerful discourse on the formation of democracy, <em>The Oresteia</em> illuminates the tensions between loyalty to one's family and to the community. In this classic for future generations, Oliver Taplin captures the lyricism of the original.
