Synopsis

In the Oresteia Aeschylus addressed the bloody chain of murder and revenge within the royal family of Argos. As they move from darkness to light, from rage to self-governance, from primitive ritual to civilized institution, their spirit of struggle and regeneration becomes an everlasting song of celebration. 'The Libation Bearers' deals with the aftermath of Clytemnestra's regicide, as her son Orestes sets out to avenge his father's death.
