RTF Invitation: The Universal Lessons of Aeschylus' Oresteia Trilogy by Adam Sedia

Ever since its premiere in 458 BC, Aeschylus’s Oresteia trilogy has been hailed as the pinnacle of Ancient Greek tragedy, enthralling audiences with the intensity of its poetry and the depth of its treatment of justice and vengeance.

This lecture explores the truth and legends underlying internal the blood-feuds of the House of Atreus and how Aeschylus masterfully uses them as a vehicle to treat themes of vengeance, justice, and atonement.

The universal lessons contained in the Oresteia trilogy will be explored and discussed by Rising Tide Foundation lecturer Adam Sedia this Sunday August 9 at 2pm Eastern Time.
