    About The Agamemnon of Aeschylus

    "The Agamemnon of Aeschylus" by Aeschylus is a Greek tragedy written in the 5th century BC. As the first play in the Oresteia trilogy, it chronicles King Agamemnon's fateful homecoming from the Trojan War. Awaiting him is his wife Clytemnestra, who harbors murderous intentions—driven by vengeance for their daughter Iphigenia's sacrifice and her desire for power. The play explores the moral complexities of revenge, loyalty, and justified bloodshed as betrayal unfolds within the royal house of Mycenae.
