The Oresteia is a trilogy of Greek tragedies that recounts the bloody history of the House of Atreus, from Agamemnon's murder by his wife Clytemnestra to their son Orestes's revenge and subsequent trial. The plays trace a movement from personal vendetta and divine retribution toward a new system of civic justice embodied in the Athenian court. Aeschylus uses mythic drama to explore guilt, fate, and the transformation of violence into law.
