The Oresteia (Ancient Greek: á½ÏÎÏÏεΠα) is a trilogy of Greek tragedies written by Aeschylus in the 5th century BC, concerning the murder of Agamemnon by Clytemnestra, the murder of Clytemnestra by Orestes, the trial of Orestes, the end of the curse on the House of Atreus and pacification of the Erinyes. The trilogy-consisting of Agamemnon (á¼Î αμÎμνÏν), The Libation Bearers (ΧοΠÏóÏoÎ ), and The Eumenides (Îá½Î¼ÎµÎ½Î ΠεÏ)-also shows how the Greek gods interacted with the characters and influenced their decisions pertaining to events and disputes. The only extant example of an ancient Greek theatre trilogy, the Oresteia won first prize at the Dionysia festival in 458 BC. The principal themes of the trilogy include the contrast between revenge and justice, as well as the transition from personal vendetta to organized litigation. Oresteia originally included a satyr play, Proteus (ÎÏÏÏεÏÏ), following the tragic trilogy, but all except a single line of Proteus has been lost. Slipcase with chip lower right front cover, scratches, staining and water stains to slipcase. Binding with light rubbing along hinge of spine and staining to cloth label.
