Nach dem Mord an Agamemnon kehrt sein Sohn Orestes heim – mit dem Ziel, seine Mutter Klytaimnestra zu töten, um den Vater zu rächen. Gemeinsam mit seiner Schwester Elektra steht er vor einem tragischen Konflikt: Familienbande gegen Blutrache, Pflicht gegen inneres Grauen. Aischylos zeigt in dieser Tragödie, wie sich das Rad der Gewalt weiterdreht – und bereitet den Weg für eine tiefgreifende Wendung im letzten Teil (Die Eumeniden).

Nach dem Ende des Trojanischen Krieges kehrt Agamemnon, König von Mykene, siegreich in seine Heimat zurück – doch dort erwartet ihn kein Triumph, sondern eine tödliche Intrige. Seine Frau Klytaimnestra, erfüllt von Hass und Schmerz über die Opferung ihrer Tochter Iphigenie, plant Rache. Aischylos entfaltet ein düsteres Familiendrama über Schuld, Gerechtigkeit und den verhängnisvollen Kreislauf der Blutrache – ein Werk, das bis heute nichts von seiner Wucht verloren hat.
