Book Description:
In the "Oresteia" - the only trilogy in Greek drama which survives from antiquity-Aeschylus took as his subject the bloody chain of murder and revenge within the royal family of Argos. Moving from darkness to light, from rage to self-governance, from primitive ritual to civilized institution, its spirit of struggle and regeneration is eternal.

I had to read these plays for my college history class. Very good if you are interested in historical plays. Good literature.
