Clytemnestra\u2019s crime is repaid in\u00a0<em>The Choephori\u00a0<\/em>\u00a0when their outraged son Orestes kills both her and her lover.\u00a0<em>The Eumenides\u00a0<\/em>then follows Orestes as he is hounded to Athens by the Furies\u2019 law of vengeance and depicts Athene replacing the bloody cycle of revenge with a system of civil justice. Written in the years after the Battle of Marathon,\u00a0<em>The Oresteian Trilogy\u00a0<\/em>affirmed the deliverance of democratic Athens not only from Persian conquest, but also from its own barbaric past.<\/p>\n<p>Philip Vellacott\u2019s verse translation makes reading this eternal dramatic masterpiece accessible for the modern reader.
