Libation-Bearers (Morshead Translation)

Aeschylus

Libation-Bearers, translated by Morshead, is the second play in Aeschylus' Oresteia trilogy, written in 458 BC. The play follows Orestes as he returns to avenge his father Agamemnon's murder by killing his mother Clytemnestra. This work is notable for its exploration of themes such as revenge versus justice and the evolution from personal vendetta to societal law. The Oresteia is the only surviving example of an ancient Greek theater trilogy and is often regarded as Aeschylus' finest achievement.
