Agamemnon: Murhenäytelmä by Aeschylus
"Agamemnon: Murhenäytelmä" by Aeschylus is a tragedy written in the 5th century BC. The play depicts the homecoming of King Agamemnon of Mycenae after the Trojan War's end. Waiting at home is his wife Clytemnestra, who plots his murder to avenge their daughter Iphigenia's sacrifice. As Agamemnon returns with his new concubine Cassandra, dark prophecies emerge and loyalties are questioned. This morally complex drama explores vengeance, power, and the consequences of past
actions in a cursed royal house. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
