Summary "Αγαμέμνων" by Aeschylus is a tragedy written in the early 5th century BC. The play focuses on the theme of revenge and the consequences of betrayal, revolving around the character of Agamemnon, the king who returns home after the Trojan War, only to face a deadly plot orchestrated by his wife, Clytemnestra. This initial act of vengeance sets in motion a tragic sequence of events that explores themes of justice, fate, and familial conflict. At the start of the play, a watchman reflects on the prolonged waiting period, hoping for word of Agamemnon's return from Troy. He ultimately sees a signal fire from the mountain, indicating victory in the war. The chorus, representing the elders of Argos, expresses anxiety about the conditions of the soldiers and the situation in Troy. Clytemnestra enters, announcing the fall of Troy with an air of triumph, but there are hints of underlying darkness and treachery in her demeanor. The opening establishes a tense atmosphere, intertwining joy for victory with an ominous anticipation of betrayal that will drive the plot forward. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
