The Oresteia is a trilogy of dramatic works from ancient Greece written by Aeschylus, composed of Agamemnon, The Libation Bearers, and The Eumenides. This edition, published by Editorial Juventud, presents a direct translation from the Greek with a preliminary study and notes by Vicente López Soto. The work is considered the only complete surviving trilogy by Aeschylus and of all Greek theater, standing out for its technical and dramatic development, as well as its profound poetic inspiration.
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.
