ESSAY ON: Oresteia

Number of Pages 5

This research paper: A 5 page essay that discusses the this trilogy of plays by Aeschylus, the ancient Greek playwright, who drew upon the saga of the House of Atreus, which was well-known to his audience, in order to create a trilogy of plays that present the tragic story of legendary figures. Collectively known as the Oresteia, the three plays are “Agamemnon,” “The Libation-Bearers” and “The Furies.” Examination of the plays demonstrates how Aeschylus structured them to work dramatically as a whole, as there are connective characterizations, imagery and meaning that tie one play to the next. No additional sources cited.
