O(rest)eia by Emily Wanamaker

The Trojan War has torn the world apart. The people of Argos wait desperately for their king, Agamemnon, to return - but his wife has less ceremonious plans for his arrival. In this retelling of Aeschylus's Oresteia, the children of Agamemnon and Clytemnestra are left to rebuild the world out of the ruins of war. How can they succeed when they've never lived in anything but chaos?
