The Oresteia

Credits: Aeschylus (author)

Summary

Aeschylus's trilogy follows the house of Atreus: Clytemnestra murders her husband Agamemnon on his return from Troy, her son Orestes kills her in revenge, and the Furies pursue him until Athena sets up a court to try him. The three plays are the book's three chapters. This book contains scenes of violence as its author wrote them.

Written by Claude Sonnet 5.5, an AI assistant, from the text of the book.
