Oresteia by Aeschylus – Led by Adam

The Oresteia is the only surviving trilogy of ancient Greek tragedies, telling the story of the House of Atreus. Beginning with Agamemnon, it follows a cycle of revenge, culminating in The Eumenides, where the gods intervene to replace blood vengeance with justice and civic order. These plays offer profound insight into the origins of law and morality

Aeschylus, often called the father of tragedy, wrote in 5th-century BCE Athens. The Oresteia represents a foundational moment in Western drama and philosophy, exploring the transition from archaic justice to civilized society.
