Description

Het verhaal van Orestes, de enige bewaarde Griekse toneeltrilogie, toont in een groots lyrisch drama hoe de wet van vergelding plaatsmaakt voor de heerschappij van het recht. Koning Agamemnon, die zijn dochter offerde voor de Trojaanse oorlog, wordt bij zijn triomfantelijke terugkeer door zijn vrouw Klytaimestra vermoord. Hun zoon Orestes doodt zijn moeder om zijn vader te wreken. Door haar wrekende geesten achtervolgd vlucht hij naar Athene, waar een nieuwe rechtbank de keten van de bloedwraak doorbreekt.De Athener Aischylos (525-456 v.Chr.) vocht in 490 mee in de beroemde slag van Marathon. De zeeslag bij Salamis (480) is het onderwerp van Perzen, de oudste van zijn zeven bewaarde tragedies. Twee jaar na de opvoering van Het verhaal van Orestes (458) stierf hij op Sicilië.
