Translated by Kaarlo Forsman

Agamemnon, a tragedy by Aeschylus, was likely written in the 5th century BC and is the first part of the 'Oresteia' trilogy. The play explores themes of fate, justice, and the repercussions of human actions, focusing on the returning king Agamemnon and his tumultuous relationship with his wife Klytaimnestra. As Agamemnon returns from the Trojan War, the atmosphere is charged with both celebration and foreboding, reflecting the tragic history of the house of Atreus and the cycle of vengeance that haunts it.
