In the Oresteia Aeschylus addressed the bloody chain of murder and revenge within the royal family of Argos. In 'The Eumenides', Orestes is tormented by supernatural powers that can never be appeased. Forming an elegant and subtle discourse on the emergence of Athenian democracy out of a period of chaos and destruction, The Oresteia is a compelling tragedy of the tensions between our obligations to our families and the laws that bind us together as a society.
