Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Aeschylus revolutionized drama by introducing a second actor, enhancing dialogue, and refining stagecraft, laying the foundation for Greek tragedy. His renowned trilogy, "The Oresteia," explores themes of revenge and justice through the story of Agamemnon's return from war and the ensuing familial conflict. Clytemnestra plots her husband's murder in "Agamemnon," while "The Libation Bearers" follows the revenge of his children, Electra and Orestes. The trilogy culminates in "The Eumenides," which addresses Orestes' trial for matricide. This edition features premium acid-free paper and an introduction by Theodore Alois Buckley.
