The Oresteia (Ancient Greek: ????????) is a trilogy of Greek tragedies written by Aeschylus in the 5th century BC, concerning the murder of Agamemnon by Clytemnestra, the murder of Clytemnestra by Orestes, the trial of Orestes, the end of the curse on the House of Atreus and pacification of the Erinyes. The trilogyconsisting of Agamemnon (?????????), The Libation Bearers (????ó?o?), and The Eumenides (?????????)also shows how the Greek gods interacted with the characters and influenced their decisions pertaining to events and disputes. The only extant example of an ancient Greek theatre trilogy, the Oresteia won first prize at the Dionysia festival in 458 BC. The principal themes of the trilogy include the contrast between revenge and justice, as well as the transition from personal vendetta to organized litigation. Oresteia originally included a satyr play, Proteus (???????), following the tragic trilogy, but all except a single line of Proteus has been lost.

First edition, early printing of the Golden Treasury Series of four ancient Greek tragedies by Aeschylus. Duodecimo, original publisher's blue cloth with gilt titles and tooling to the spine and front panel, tissue-guarded frontispiece. In very good condition. Translated into English verse by E.D.A Morshead. Ownership signature to the front free endpaper. Aeschylus (c. 525â"456 BCE) is widely regarded as the father of Western tragedy and the first of the three great Athenian dramatists whose work survived antiquity â" the others being Sophocles and Euripides â" and his innovations in theatrical form were so fundamental that Aristotle credited him with transforming drama itself by introducing the second actor, thereby enabling genuine dialogue and conflict rather than the exchange between a single actor and the chorus that had characterized the form before him. Of the estimated seventy to ninety plays Aeschylus composed across his long career, only seven survive in complete form, among them four works of particular consequence: The Suppliant Maidens, widely considered the earliest surviving Greek tragedy, presents the fifty daughters of Danaus fleeing forced marriage to their Egyptian cousins and seeking asylum in Argos, raising enduring questions about the rights of suppliants, the obligations of rulers, and the competing claims of divine and human law. The Persians (472 BCE), the only surviving Greek tragedy drawn from contemporary history rather than myth, dramatizes the aftermath of the Greek victory at Salamis as witnessed from the Persian court â" a work of extraordinary imaginative sympathy that transforms military triumph into meditation on the catastrophic consequences of hubris and imperial overreach. The Seven Against Thebes (467 BCE) completes an earlier trilogy on the House of Oedipus, tracing the fratricidal war between Eteocles and Polynices with a stark dramatic power that anticipates Sophocles' later treatments of the same material. Prometheus Bound, presenting the Titan Prometheus chained to his rock as a figure of defiant intellectual heroism, suffering divine punishment for having given humanity fire and the arts of civilization, and engaging Zeus himself in a contest of wills whose terms have echoed through Western literature from Milton to Shelley and beyond.
