The Choephoroe is a Greek tragedy written by Aeschylus, which is part of his trilogy the Oresteia. The work focuses on the reunion of Orestes and his sister Electra, and their plan to avenge the death of their father Agamemnon at the hands of their mother Clytemnestra and her lover Aegisthus. The tragedy explores themes of revenge, justice, and the cycle of violence in the royal family of Argos.
Aeschylus was an ancient Greek tragedian, often described as the father of tragedy. Academic knowledge of the genre begins with his work, and understanding of earlier Greek tragedy is largely based on inferences made from reading his surviving plays. According to Aristotle, he expanded the number of characters in the theatre and allowed conflict among them. Formerly, characters interacted only with the chorus.
