Aeschylus was the first of the three ancient Greek tragedians whose plays can still be read or performed, the others being Sophocles and Euripides. He is often described as the father of tragedy: our knowledge of the genre begins with his work and our understanding of earlier tragedies is largely based on inferences from his surviving plays. Only seven of his estimated seventy to ninety plays have survived into modern times. Fragments of some other plays have survived in quotes and more continue to be discovered on Egyptian papyrus, often giving us surprising insights into his work.

Since he had been banished from the kingdom by his mother when he was young, he must pay respects to King Agamemnon in disguise. At the grave site he is reunited with his sister, Electra. Both scorned by Clytemnestra, the siblings share in their hatred of their mother and Orestes confides in Electra about his plot. When explains the Oracle of Apollo sent him to get vengeance for Agamemnon's murder, Electra agrees to help kill Clytemnestra and her lover, Aigisthos. Together they pray to their father, Agamemnon, asking his spirit to assist in getting revenge of his murder. Though Orestes received a blessing from the God Apollo, he must face many obstacles in order to achieve his plot. First, to be accepted in the palace, he must convince Clytemnestra and Aigisthos that he is just a traveler. He protects his identity pretending to be just a traveler and tricks Clytemnestra into believing that her banished son has died. Still, even as his plot slowly comes to fruition, Orestes must consider the emotional and moral toll of murder, and which harbinger of karma might decide to punish him. With high stakes and rich drama, The Libation Bearers follows a family cursed with the quest and thirst for vengeance, falling into an unforgiving cycle of bloodshed.

With complex characters and thrilling drama, Aeschylus' The Libation Bearers remains to be remarkable and intriguing to a modern audience. This addition of The Libation Bearers by the famed Greek playwright Aeschylus is now presented with an eye-catching new cover design and is printed in a modern font.

One of the founding documents of Western culture and the only surviving ancient Greek trilogy, the Oresteia of Aeschylus is one of the great tragedies of all time. The three plays of the Oresteia portray the bloody events that follow the victorious return of King Agamemnon from the Trojan War, at the start of which he had sacrificed his daughter Iphigeneia to secure divine favor. After Iphi-geneia’s mother, Clytemnestra, kills her husband in revenge, she in turn is murdered by their son Orestes with his sister Electra’s encouragement. Orestes is pursued by the Furies and put on trial, his fate decided by the goddess Athena. Far more than the story of murder and ven-geance in the royal house of Atreus, the Oresteia serves as a dramatic parable of the evolution of justice and civilization that is still powerful after 2,500 years. The trilogy is presented here in George Thomson’s classic translation, renowned for its fidelity to the rhythms and richness of the original Greek.
