"Χοηφόροι" by Aeschylus is a tragedy that forms the second part of the Oresteia, the only complete surviving ancient trilogy. The play follows Orestes as he returns to Argos with his friend Pylades to mourn at his father's tomb. There, he reunites with his sister Electra and the chorus of libation-bearers. Together, they plot vengeance against those who wronged their family. The work consists of 1,076 verses filled with repeated curses, invocations
of justice, and mounting tension toward a violent resolution. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
