A tragedy by the Athenian playwright, Aeskhylus (Aeschylus); usually called The Libation Bearers; one of the seven surviving tragedies by Aeskhylus.
This play is the second in the Oresteia trilogy dealing with the murder of Agamemnon and the revenge meted out by his son, Orestes; the name of this play may also be rendered as Khoephori or Choephori.
This is a fine story and well worth reading; if you wish to read this play I suggest The Complete Greek Tragedies, Aeschylus I, edited by David Grene and Richmond Lattimore, ISBN 0226307786; you can find this book at your library in the 800 section or you can order it through the Book Shop on this site which is linked to Amazon.com.
