On-line version of The House of Atreus
Seven (7) Lessons
Included in the trilogy (also called "The House of Atreus") are Agamemnon, The Libation-Bearers, and The Furies.
The plays recount the curse on the lineage of Atreus. This unfortunate family had a history of committing
horrible acts of violence, and the atrocities were always countered by revenge.
Even though Agamemnon returns to his home victorious after the defeat of Troy, the
commander-in-chief is murdured by his wife, Clytemnestra. The remainder of the trilogy centers
on Orestes, who avenges his father's death and is pursued by the Furies, who punish those
who commit parricide. This trilogy represents some of the best examples of Greek drama.
Package includes study guide, answer keys, and vocabulary quizzes.
