Aeschylus (525-c.456 bc) set his great trilogy in the immediate aftermath of the Fall of Troy, when King Agamemnon returns to Argos, a victor in war.<\/p>\n

Agamemnon<\/i> depicts the hero’s discovery that his family has been destroyed by his wife’s infidelity and ends with his death at her callous hand.<\/p>\n

Clytemnestra’s crime is repaid in The Choephori<\/i> when her outraged son Orestes kills both her and her lover.<\/p>\n

The Eumenides<\/i> then follows Orestes as he is hounded to Athens by the Furies’ law of vengeance and depicts Athene replacing the bloody cycle of revenge with a system of civil justice.<\/p>\n
