KLYTAIMNESTRA.
The drama opens on the mist‑shrouded shore of Aulis, where the Greek fleet gathers under King Agamemnon’s command, poised to sail for Troy. As the war‑driven leaders argue and the old seer warns of a missing wind, a heartbreaking dilemma emerges: the goddess Artemis demands a human offering to clear the seas, and Agamemnon’s own daughter, Iphigenia, becomes the fateful choice. Tension ripples through the camp, exposing the clash between personal love and the brutal demands of destiny.
Listeners will be drawn into the raw emotions of a father torn between duty and devotion, the fierce pride of warriors, and the subtle manipulations of those who counsel him. The play’s early scenes set a powerful tone of foreboding and moral conflict, inviting you to contemplate the cost of glory before the tragic events unfold.

d. -406
One of the great tragedians of classical Athens, this playwright helped shape the emotional and psychological depth of Greek drama. His surviving works, including Medea, Hippolytus, and The Bacchae, still feel startlingly human.
