Edizione: fine copy of the first prize winning trilogy in 458 b.c. with introduction by rex warner. "the oresteia, also known as the house of atreus, is the only complete trilogy of greek dramas that has come down to us. these 3 plays relate the melodramatic story - based on greek mythology - of agamemnon, king of mycenae, his wife clytemnestra, their son orestes, and their associates. while agamemnon is away at the trojan war, his wife takes a lover, aegisthus, and conspires with him to slay her husband upon his return. the murder is the subject of the first play, the agamemnon. the second, the libation bearers, relates orestes' vengeance on the lovers; and the final drama, the furies, describes his trial and absolution.
