520 Aeschylus (525-c.456 bc) set his great trilogy in the
immediate aftermath of the Fall of Troy, when King
Agamemnon returns to Argos, a victor in war. Agamemnon
depicts the hero's discovery that his family has been
destroyed by his wife's infidelity and ends with his death
at her callous hand. Clytemnestra's crime is repaid in The
Choephori when her outraged son Orestes kills both her and
her lover. The Eumenides then follows Orestes as he is
hounded to Athens by the Furies' law of vengeance and
depicts Athene replacing the bloody cycle of revenge with
a system of civil justice. Written in the years after the
Battle of Marathon, The Oresteian Trilogy affirmed the
deliverance of democratic Athens not only from Persian
conquest, but also from its own barbaric past.
