The House of Atreus Aeschylus

The only surviving trilogy of Greek plays, The House of Atreus (also known as The Oresteia) is comprised of early masterworks of the playwright Aeschylus: Agamemnon, The Libation-Bearers, and The Furies. Together, the plays tell a story of murder, revenge, curses, and justice. The characters include the Greek Gods, who interact with humanity and influence events.
