The Oresteia of Aeschylus; Agamemnon, Choephori, Eumenides. The Greek text as arr. for performance at Cambridge

By R.C. Trevelyan

A king returns. Shadows gather. The Oresteia of Aeschylus stands as the crowning achievement of ancient Greek tragedy-a trilogy where fate and justice collide in a world haunted by revenge and retribution. In this acclaimed Cambridge adaptation by R. C. Trevelyan, the timeless power of Agamemnon, Choephori, and Eumenides is brought vividly to life, offering both a stirring theatre performance script and a compelling classical drama anthology. Set against the charged backdrop of ancient Greece, these plays thread together the deepest themes of Greek mythology stories: the cost of vengeance, the search for justice, and the struggle between old gods and new order. Trevelyan's arrangement, designed for performance at Cambridge University, preserves the drama's intensity and lyricism, making it an essential volume for students of classical literature and enthusiasts of the classical antiquity era. Readers will find themselves drawn into a world where Sophocles and Euripides echo, yet Aeschylus's voice remains singular and profound. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today-a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. Whether you seek the artistry of ancient Greek plays, the insight of theatre scripts, or a collector's window into the soul of classical drama, this Greek tragedy collection is a cultural treasure for every bookshelf.
