In the aftermath of the fall of Troy, the reign of King Agamemnon is tainted by the bloodshed of a long war and the evil of a troubled heritage. His queen, Clytemnestra, and her lover, Aegisthus, take revenge on him, and cause his downfall.
Publisher's Notes
First Line: "WATCHMAN
I pray the gods to quit me of my toils,
To close the watch I keep, this livelong year;
For as a watch-dog lying, not at rest,
Propped on one arm, upon the palace-roof
Of Atreus' race, too long, too well I know
The starry conclave of the midnight sky,
Too well, the splendours of the firmament,
The lords of light, whose kingly aspect shows-
What time they set or climb the sky in turn-
The year's divisions, bringing frost or fire."
