A proposito di questo titolo
 The Oresteia is a powerful trilogy of Greek tragedies penned by Aeschylus, exploring the tragic downfall of the House of Atreus. Central to the narrative is Orestes, who embarks on a harrowing quest to avenge his fathers death. This exceptional work, the only surviving example of an ancient Greek theater trilogy, triumphed at the Dionysia festival in 458 BC. While originally accompanied by the now-lost satyr play, Proteus, the term Oresteia has come to signify the surviving trilogy alone. Many regard it as Aeschylus magnum opus, delving into profound themes such as the tension between revenge and justice, and the shift from personal vendetta to structured legal proceedings. The play Agamemnon (Ἀγαμέμνων, Agamemnōn) vividly narrates the tragic homecoming of Agamemnon, King of Argos, after the Trojan War. Awaiting him is his wife, Clytemnestra, who has schemed his demise, driven by vengeance for their daughter Iphigenia’s sacrifice and her own adulterous affair with Aegisthus, Agamemnon’s cousin. Their intertwined fates set the stage for a gripping tale of betrayal and retribution.Copyright Family and Culture Arte Intrattenimento e arti dello spettacolo Teatro e spettacoli
