The trilogy called Oresia by Aeschylus (525-456 B.C.), of which Agamemnon is the first play, deals with the succession of crimes and retribution in the house of Atreus.  The tragedy of Agamemnon involves war and politics as well as a domestic triangle, and the rich and subtle poetry of the play is the perfect medium for its problems and insights.
