«Agamenón» is the Greek tragedy by Aeschylus, published by Ediciones Clásicas in paperback (96 pages, in Spanish).
The work recreates the return of Agamemnon, king of Argos, to his palace after the Trojan War, and the reception prepared by his wife Clytemnestra. First piece of the Oresteia trilogy, it poses the conflict between family vengeance and the order of the city, with the chorus as witness to the drama looming over the house of the Atreids.
This 1997 edition includes translation and adaptation by José Miguel Alarcón and María González. The ISBN-10 is 8478822844.
Suitable for students of classical literature and readers interested in Greek theatre and the foundational myths of Western culture.
Aeschylus was an ancient Greek tragedian, often described as the father of tragedy. Academic knowledge of the genre begins with his work, and understanding of earlier Greek tragedy is largely based on inferences made from reading his surviving plays. According to Aristotle, he expanded the number of characters in the theatre and allowed conflict among them. Formerly, characters interacted only with the chorus.
