About this listen

 In the gripping play Agamemnon, we witness the tumultuous return of Agamemnon, the King of Argos, after a decade-long campaign in the Trojan War. Awaiting him at home is his cunning wife, Clytemnestra, who harbors a chilling plan for revenge against her husband. Fueled by the haunting memory of their daughter Iphigenias sacrifice and her own affair with Aegisthus—Agamemnons cousin and the last heir of a rival branch of their family—Clytemnestras thirst for vengeance intertwines with a quest for power. This classic tale of betrayal and ambition is steeped in tragedy and explores the dark legacy of familial conflict. Summary by Wikipedia.
