First presented in the spring of 458 BCE at the festival of Dionysus in Athens, Aeschylus' trilogy Oresteia won the first prize. It is the only surviving example of the ancient trilogy form for Greek tragedies. David Mulroy's fluid, accessible English translation with its rhyming choral songs does full justice to the meaning and theatricality of the ancient Greek.

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.
