Aeschylus Audio Books

The Oresteia is a trilogy by Aeschylus, one of the foremost playwrights of ancient Greece. It encompasses three plays: Agamemnon, The Libation Bearers, and The Furies. It tells the tragic tale of the House of Atreus, whose inhabitants have been cursed and are doomed to play out their bloody, vengeful destinies.

The only complete trilogy to survive from the ancient Greek theater is here presented in the first sound recording of all three plays: Agamemnon, The Libation Bearers and The Eumenides.

Prometheus Bound is the only complete tragedy of the Prometheia trilogy, traditionally assumed to be the work of Aeschylus.

In this, the only extant tragedy from Aeschylus' trilogy about the House of Oedipus, Thebes is under siege from Polynices, a former prince of Thebes.

This is one of the few Greek tragedies that deals with historical events rather than mythological ones.
