The Eumenides of Aeschylus is a play that has been arranged for performance at Cambridge in December 1885 by the Committee at the University Press. Aeschylus was a Greek tragedian who wrote the play in the 5th century BC, and it is the final play in a trilogy called the Oresteia. The Eumenides tells the story of Orestes, who is pursued by the Furies, ancient goddesses of vengeance, for killing his mother. The play explores themes of justice, revenge, and the role of the gods in human affairs. The version presented in this book has been adapted for performance and includes stage directions and notes for actors and directors. This edition is intended for scholars, students, and theater enthusiasts who are interested in the history of Greek drama and its performance traditions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
