Agamemnon, The Choephori, and The Eumenides by Aeschylus

Agamemnon, The Choephori, and The Eumenides are a trio of plays about Agamemnon, King of Argos, and his descendants. In the first play Agamemnon is betrayed and murdered by his scheming wife, Clytemnestra, who resents his having sacrificed their daughter. In The Choephori he is avenged by his son, Orestes, who finally breaks the cycle of violence in the third play by submitting to Athenian ideals of law and justice.
