The Oresteia

London: Faber and Faber, 1999. 1st Edition. Soft cover. 16mo - over 5¾ - 6¾" tall. Fine. Item #009428

Soft cover. 294 pp. Covers lightly scuffed, one small stain to fore edge of text block, else fine. The Oresteia comprises three of the greatest plays of all time: Agamemnon, The Choephori and the Eumenides. Concerned with the immediate aftermath of the Trojan War as it affects the accursed royal house of Atreus, it follows a singularly harrowing course, from the bloodiest domestic discord to divine intervention and reconciliation.
