From the rear cover
Agamemnon, king o Argos, returns to Greece triumphant following victory over Troy-only to be brutally murdered by his wife Klytaimestra. Their son Orestes returns from exile and, commanded by the god Apollo, reluctantly murders her in retribution for his father's death. He flees to Delphi, and then to Athens, pursued by Furies intent on avenging Klytaimestra's death. The goddess Athena founds the court of the Areopagus to try the case, and Apollo and the Furies argue over Orestes' future. Can the court stop further bloodshed inside the house of A treus-and can the Athenians escape the consequences, if they acquit Orestes?
