In his essay " Hegel's Theory of Tragedy ," A. C.

By Aeschylus are known titles of 79 works ( out of about ninety works ), between tragedy and satyr plays, 7 of these have survived, including the only complete trilogy has come down from antiquity, the ' Oresteia, and some papyrus fragments:

The opera Les Danaïdes ( The Danaids ) is a five-act tragédie lyrique ; the plot was based on an ancient Greek legend that had been the basis for the first play in a trilogy by Aeschylus, entitled The Suppliants.

In the Prometheus mythos of Hesiodus and possibly Aeschylus ( the Greek mythos | Greek trilogy Prometheus Bound, Prometheus Unbound ( Aeschylus ) | Prometheus Unbound and Prometheus Pyrphoros ), Prometheus is bound and tortured for giving fire to humanity at its creation.

In The Libation Bearers, the second play of Aeschylus ' trilogy Orestia, Pylades speaks only once.

West has argued that the Prometheus Bound and its trilogy are at least partially and probably wholly the work of Aeschylus ' son, Euphorion, who was also a playwright.

Besides introducing the dialogues iambic trimeter and use for the first time female characters, invented the genre of tragedy to historical argument ( Capture of Miletus ), introducing a second part: you started, then the trilogy, which will be finally adopted by Aeschylus and his contemporaries.

In Aeschylus ' Eumenides Pheres is mentioned by the Chorus of Erinyes of Clytemnestra.

In Aeschylus ' Libation Bearers Althaea is mentioned by the Chorus of captive slaves, serving women of Clytemnestra, in a recollection of ' hatreds that stopped at nothing '.

In Aeschylus ' tragedy Choephori and Sophocles ' tragedy Electra, Clytemnestra performs maschalismos on the body of Agamemnon after his murder, to prevent his taking vengeance on her.

An example of a reversal for ill would be Agamemnon's sudden murder at the hands of his wife Clytemnestra in Aeschylus ' The Oresteia or the inescapable situation Kate Hudson's character finds herself in at the end of The Skeleton Key.

Another piece of evidence used to support an early date is the relationship between the character of Deianeira and that of Clytemnestra in Aeschylus ' Oresteia, first produced in 458.

According to some scholars, Deianeira's character in Women of Trachis is intended as a commentary on Aeschylus ' treatment of Clytemnestra, and if this is the case this play was most likely produced reasonably soon after Oresteia, although it is also possible that such commentary was triggered by a later revival of Aeschylus ' trilogy.

Unlike in Aeschylus ’ The Libation Bearers, where revenge is one of the main themes throughout the play, Sartre ’ s Orestes does not kill Aegisthus and Clytemnestra for vengeance or because it was his destiny, instead it is for the sake of the people of Argos, so that they may be freed from their enslavement.

Sartre even diminishes the character of Clytemnestra so that there is much less emphasis on matricide than there is in the version by Aeschylus.
