The Orestes of Euripides is a play written by the ancient Greek playwright Euripides. This edition, published in 1879, includes brief notes to help readers understand the text. The play tells the story of Orestes, the son of Agamemnon, who returns home to Mycenae to avenge his father's murder. With the help of his sister Electra and his friend Pylades, Orestes kills his mother Clytemnestra and her lover Aegisthus. However, the act of matricide brings upon him the wrath of the Furies, who torment him until he is finally absolved of his crime by the goddess Athena. The play explores themes of revenge, justice, and the conflict between the old and new orders of society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
