by Aeschylus (Author), David Mulroy (Translator)
A new verse translation of Agamemnon, the first play in Aeschylus's trilogy The Oresteia. Agamemnon returns to Greece a victor in the Trojan War, bringing with him the seer Cassandra. Awaiting him is his wife Clytemnestra, who is angry at Agamemnon's sacrifice of their daughter to the gods, jealous of Cassandra, and guilty of taking a lover. The events that unfold catch everyone in a bloody net.
