Agamênon mostra sua volta da guerra de Troia, na qual saiu-se bem após matar a própria filha, Ifigênia, em sacrifício aos deuses. A morte de Ifigênia não é bem recebida pela mãe, Clitemnestra, esposa de Agamênon, que a vinga assassinando o próprio marido com a ajuda de seu amante, Egisto. A segunda parte, Coéforas, narra a volta de Orestes, filho de Agamênon, orientado pelo deus Apolo, para vingar a morte do pai. Ele é ajudado pela irmã, Electra, que era mantida como serviçal no sótão do castelo por sua mãe, Clitemnestra. O amante dela também é morto por Orestes com a ajuda de Electra e do deus Apolo. A terceira parte, Eumênides, traz a ira de Clitemnestra, já morta, materializada nas Fúrias, que são vistas somente por Orestes e responsáveis pela sua loucura. Narra também a a nálise do crime de Orestes: o assassinato da própria mãe, julgado pela deusa Atena. Se há uma palavra que pode descrever estas tragédias, é transcendental. Catártica seria uma outra boa palavra e suficiente. Não sei se as traduções captam toda a profundidade dos diálogos insanos, mas há em Esquilo uma vocação universal que todo leitor ou espectador sente enquanto o lê ou assiste, encenado, e isso porque estas são 3 histórias tão universais, unidas pela fábula, isto é, a efabulação mitológica. For class we were supposed to only read part 1, "Agamemnon", which leaves off at a weird cliffhanger, so I read the rest and the story made more sense. These plays, unlike other Greek trilogies, don't work as standalone pieces at all; reading all of them in quick succession at least resolved the story but it was so so boring. From my non-academic perspective the main reason to read Greek tragedy is because they're metal as hell (Medea!) and while the Oresteia had moments of being metal while the family's caught in a Godfather-like cycle of retribution, the resolution is just... a courtroom scene. I understand what the story is saying with this, but it was very anticlimactic after all that! On top of everything this was very misogynist (especially when compared to later plays like Medea) and I'm honestly getting sick of reading men writing about men. I guess Meineck's translation was pretty good, it was pretty easy to read, but for whatever reason the footnotes at the bottom of each page didn't correspond with any in-text superscript or asterisk or other markers! This was a very stupid publishing decision!

Grundtemaet i disse tre sammenh?rende dramaer er spndingen mellem den oprindelige retsud?velse som et anliggende for individet, familien, slgten eller klanen og det mere udviklede samfunds behov for og krav pa at have eneretten til at pa d?mme og straffe - og til at ud?ve vold inden for lovens rammer.Denne konflikt er blevet reaktualiseret i Danmark og andetsteds i verden ved de folkevandringer globaliseringen af ba de kultur og krig har medf?rt.

I can imagine the characters as actual people, with their messy motivations and emotions. Clytemnestra, left alone for over a decade as her husband is off at Troy, her oldest daughter killed by this same man. I honestly can't really blame her for wanting to kill Agamemnon herself, especially since he tricked both of them by saying he had found a husband for Iphigenia in order to get his daughter to come to where he was. To then turn a celebration into a murder is really evil. But "an eye for an eye" really does just cause an endless trail of tragedy.
It's fascinating to see the Furies turned into some kind of auxiliary for the Fates. I wonder why Aeschylus did that, or if that was already an accepted mythology that he capitalized on. It contains aspects of karma for me, the idea that these beings who demand payment for crimes should morph into beings who deal out destiny. So interesting. ( )
