Agamemnon comes back to Argos in triumph, bringing Cassandra as captive and prize, while Queen Clytemnestra waits with a welcome that conceals years of grief, rage, and deadly intention.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe play is the first part of the \u003cem\u003eOresteia\u003c\/em\u003e, the only complete surviving trilogy from ancient Greek drama. Its central conflict grows from a chain of violence: the sacrifice of Iphigenia, the crimes of the house of Atreus, the destruction of Troy, the humiliation of Cassandra, and Clytemnestra's demand for justice through murder. Aeschylus gives the story immense moral weight, asking whether revenge can ever end revenge, whether victory can be separated from guilt, and whether divine justice works through human suffering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFirst performed in 458 BCE, \u003cem\u003eAgamemnon\u003c\/em\u003e remains essential reading for students and readers of Greek tragedy, classical literature, mythology, drama, war literature, and the origins of Western theater. Its language, imagery, choral power, and terrible momentum make it one of the great works about pride, sacrifice, betrayal, political power, and the cost of inherited violence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 70\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.17 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 12, 2013\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47422725062834,"sku":"9781617208560","price":13.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/SjnG3NFrM_9781617208560.webp?v=1783302075","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/agamemnon-paperback-2","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
