The House of Atreus, written by Aeschylus in the 5th century BC, is a collection of Greek tragedies that includes Agamemnon, the Libation Bearers, and the Furies. This trilogy explores the themes of revenge, justice, and the tragic downfall of the royal family of Argos, particularly focusing on Agamemnon and his wife Clytemnestra. It is notable for being the only surviving trilogy from ancient Greek drama, illustrating the transition from chaos to order and the complexities of fate and free will.
