Story
Agamemnon is the first of the three linked tragedies which make up The Oresteia trilogy by the ancient Greek playwright Aeschylus. Trilogy as a whole, originally performed at the annual Dionysia festival in Athens in 458 BCE, where it won first prize, is considered to be Aeschylus' last authenticated, and also his greatest, work. Agamemnon describes the homecoming of Agamemnon, king of Argos, from the Trojan War, and his return to his wife, Clytemnestra, who had been planning his murder (in concert with her lover, Aegisthus) as revenge for Agamemnon's earlier sacrifice of their daughter, Iphigenia.

Story
Produced in 458 BC, Aeschylus' Choephori is the second play in the Oresteian trilogy. The bloodshed begun in the first play with the murder of Agamemnon by his wife Clytemnestra is here continued when Agamemnon's son Orestes avenges his father's death by killing Clytemnestra. It is not until the third and final play, Eumenides, that peace is restored to the family of the Atreidae. The introduction discusses the pre-Aeschylean 'Orestes' tradition in literature and art, as well as the place of Choephori within the Oresteia.

Story
Antigone by Sophocles, is a classic Greek tragedy that unfolds against the backdrop of Thebes. The play delves into the profound ethical and moral dilemmas faced by its characters, with Antigone at the center of a conflict between personal convictions and civic duty. The narrative begins with the aftermath of a brutal war, where two brothers, Eteocles and Polynices, have fallen on opposing sides. Antigone, their sister, defies the king's decree and buries Polynices, setting the stage for a clash between divine law and human authority.

Story
Ödipus ist eine antike Tragödie. Das Orakel von Delphi sagt Laios, dem König von Theben voraus, dass sein Sohn ihn töten und mit seiner Mutter Iokaste Kinder zeugen werde. Um dies zu vermeiden, gibt er seinen neugeborenen Sohn an einen Hirten, um ihn auszusetzen. Dieser gibt ihn aber stattdessen einem befreundeten Hirten in Korinth. Schließlich wird er aber von dem König und der Königin von Korinth aufgenommen und erhält den Namen Ödipus. Als er jedoch erfährt, dass das Orakel vorausgesagt hat, dass er seinen Vater tötet, verlässt er Korinth.

Story
Prometheus gehört dem Göttergeschlecht der Titanen und ist er der Herrschaft des Göttervaters Zeus unterworfen. Bei einem Tieropfer greift er zu einer List, um Zeus zu täuschen: er überlässt ihm nur die wertlosen Teile des Opfertiers und behält das genießbare Fleisch für die Menschen, da sie seine Schützlinge sind. Zur Strafe dafür verweigert der erzürnte Zeus den Sterblichen den Besitz des Feuers. Darauf entwendet Prometheus den Göttern das Feuer und bringt es den Menschen. Deswegen wird er auf Befehl des Göttervaters gefesselt und im Kaukasusgebirge festgeschmiedet.

Story
Agamemnon, Heerführer der Griechen, hat seine Tochter Iphigenie getötet, um günstige Winde für die Fahrt nach Troja zu erhalten. Nun, nach langen Jahren im Krieg kehrt er zurück, als Kriegsbeute Kassandra im Gefolge. Seine Frau Klytämnestra bietet ihm scheinbar ehrvollen Empfang - doch kaum in den Palast eingezogen, ermordet sie sowohl ihn als auch Kassandra - aus Rache für den Tochtermord. Auch Ägisth, Agamemnons Neffe und ihr Liebhaber, ist Teil des Komplotts - hat denn auch er gegenüber seinem Onkel grausame Rachegelüste.
