Summary "Χοηφόροι" by Aeschylus is a classic Greek tragedy written in the 5th century BC. This play is the second part of the "Oresteia" trilogy, focusing on themes of revenge, justice, and familial duty. It delves into the intense emotions surrounding Orestes’ quest to avenge his father's murder, primarily involving the characters Orestes, his sister Electra, and their mother Clytemnestra. The opening of "Χοηφόροι" introduces us to the grim aftermath of King Agamemnon's death, with his widow Clytemnestra haunted by nightmares and sending Electra to perform ritual offerings at her father's grave. As the unsuspecting siblings, Electra and Orestes, emotionally reconnect in their mourning, they plot revenge against Clytemnestra and her lover Aegisthus, who conspired to murder Agamemnon. The stage is set for a dramatic exploration of vengeance and the weight of destiny as Orestes grapples with the moral implications of fulfilling the oracle's command to restore justice for his father's death.
