Next in the collection is Seven Against Thebes, which follows the battle between two brothers for the throne of Thebes. After the banishment of Oedipus, Eteocles and Adrastus, the two brothers, engaged in an epic war, fulfilling the tragic curse of the Oedipus family. The title tragedy in Prometheus Bound and Other Plays, Prometheus Bound, tells the tale of the downfall of the titian Prometheus. Before Prometheus, mankind had no advantage over the gods that ruled the heavens and Earth. Humans were forced to cower in the cold darkness, plagued by ignorance until Prometheus took pity on them. With heroic intentions, Prometheus stole fire and knowledge from Olympus and gave it to mankind. Though he brought light, warmth, and understanding to Earth, Zeus was outraged, and so began Prometheus¿ punishment. Featuring the oldest surviving play, legendary myths, epic battles, and humanist perspectives, Prometheus Bound and Other Plays by Aeschylus is a classic tragedy that exemplifies empathy and the human spirit even in its tales of defeat. Written by the father of tragedy, this collection is a privileged possession.

From the perspective of the townspeople and the queen, Clytemnestra, Agamemnon follows the emotional journey of grief, rage, and revenge. Agamemnon had dedicated much of his life to a war that his brother started. He vowed to do whatever it takes to win¿committing war crimes and killing innocents. But, even in victory, Agamemnon feels unsatisfied and plagued by the bloodshed he caused. Because of this, he decides to perform a ritual to clear his conscience and regain the gods¿ approval. After he fought for ten years in the Trojan war, Clytemnestra eagerly awaited the return of her husband, King Agamemnon. However, upon his arrival, she learns that he has sacrificed one of her loved ones to the gods, in order to win their favor. Though Agamemnon expressed slight remorse, he felt resolute in his actions, as he viewed the sacrifice as a necessity. Already devastated, Clytemnestra is driven to pure rage when she finds that Agamemnon also brought back a ¿spoil of war¿, Cassandra, a Trojan princess and prophetess, who has been punished by the god Apollo for refusing his advances. Though she is able to see the future, she is cursed to be never believed. Considered as Agamemnon¿s war prize, Cassandra is trapped in the kingdom, especially hopeless when she receives a vision of unescapable doom. Meanwhile, as Clytemnestra settles in her grief and rage, she creates a plot for vengeance, and much like her husband at war, is unconcerned about any collateral damage. As the first installment of the sole surviving Greek trilogy, Agamemnon is both a stand-alone piece and a compliment to later plays. With symbolism and precise prose, Agamemnon by Aeschylus depicts the consequences of warfare¿both abroad and domestic. Featuring strong, dynamic, and well-developed characters and an emotional, dramatic plot, Agamemnon is an enthralling perspective on the fates of famous heroes from Greek mythology. This edition of Aeschylus¿ acclaimed tragedy, Agamemnon features a new, eye-catching cover and is reprinted in a modern, readable font. With these accommodations, contemporary readers are encouraged to revisit this classic and enthralling tale of revenge.
