The Choephores and The Eumenides are two Greek tragedies written by Aeschylus. The Choephores tells the story of the reunion of Electra and Orestes, children of Agamemnon, and their plan to avenge their father's death at the hands of their mother Clytemnestra and her lover Aegisthus. The Eumenides continues the story of Orestes, pursued by the Erinyes for the matricide, and his trial before the Areopagus in Athens, where he is acquitted thanks to the intervention of Athena.
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.
