		Libations offered to the dead = mixture of grain, honey and oil (for gods, wine was used).
		Vase-paintings suggest that the tomb was represented by the altar at the centre of the orkhêstra.
		So there is a contrast between Agamemnon, in which action is focused on the stage and skênê-building (= the palace), and the opening of Libation Bearers, where the spatial focus shifts to the centre of the orkhêstra.

	Summary of The Libation Bearers (second play in Oresteia trilogy)
		Orestes and his companion Pylades hide themselves when a chorus of women, the libation bearers of the title, enters along with Orestes' sister Electra.
		This chorus of slave women brings libations to pour on the grave of the dead Agamemnon, displaying the traditional signs of mourning ("Cheeks marked with crimson, gashed, / nails plough furrows fresh and deep") and complaining about Clytemnestra ("that godless woman") who sent them to appease the ghost of dead king.
		Throughout The Libation Bearers, Aeschylus uses much of the same imagery he employed in the Agamemnon.

	DIDASKALIA: Ancient Theater Today (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Although the structure and content of both Agamemnon (1999-2002) and The Libation Bearers (2001-04) were designed to be exclusively Aeschylean under the terms described above, the melodic and harmonic language of both works deliberately avoids any overt attempts to reproduce or evoke ancient Greek performance practices.
		Aegisthus in the musical version of Agamemnon is presented as a mock-heroic figure within the parameters of the operatic tradition: he becomes an effete parody of baroque opera seria, with an opening recitative accompanied by continuo (harpsichord and cello) and decorated with arpeggiated flourishes, and a scene translated throughout in rhymed English couplets.
		In response to the relative lengths of the utterances of the characters (Orestes, Elektra, and the Chorus) as allotted by Aeschylus, the libretto mirrors the proportions of the ancient text, its exchanges accelerating (with the number of lines per entrance gradually diminishing) as the Kommos proceeds.

	The Oresteia: Introduction
		This document was originally published in The Drama: Its History, Literature and Influence on Civilization, vol.
		Of all the works of Aeschylus the strongest in dramatic force is the Oresteia, a series consisting of the Agamemnon, the Choëphoræ (or Libation Bearers) and the Eumenides, the only one of his trilogies that has come down to us.
		It was probably the last that he exhibited at Athens, and upon it he seems to have lavished all the splendors of his genius, that he might leave to his fellow citizens something worthy of his country and himself.

		That's the reason why I think that Oedipus is the best example of a tragic hero as he unwittingly killed his father Laius and married his mother Iocasta and thus he is not guilty of "hybris", i.e.
		ORESTES as seen in The Libation Bearers & The Eumenides seems to be destined to pay for sins which derive from the bloody history of the House of Atreus, his ancestor.
		In fact to avenge his father's death, he must slay his mother Clytaemestra and her lover, Aegisthus who had murdered Agamemnon.
