brief_description
What is justice? How is it related to vengeance?... These questions, which puzzled thoughtful Athenians in the decades after the battle of Marathon, provided the theme for Agamemnon, The Choephori, and The Eumenides - those grim tragedies that make up the Oresteian Trilogy. -- Publisher's description.
