By Peter Bayley

Book Overview

Orestes in Argos is a tragic play written by Peter Bayley in 1825. The play is divided into five acts and follows the story of Orestes, the son of Agamemnon, who returns to Argos seeking revenge for his father's murder. Orestes is tormented by the Furies, who haunt him for his crime of matricide, and he seeks the help of his sister Electra and his friend Pylades to aid him in his quest for vengeance. The play explores themes of justice, revenge, and the consequences of one's actions. Bayley's interpretation of the classic Greek myth offers a fresh perspective on the story of Orestes and his tragic fate.As First Performed At The Theater Royal, Covent-Garden, On Wednesday, April 20, 1825.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
