Aeschylus.

About the Book
The House of Atreus, a well-known family line in Greek mythology, is famed for its dark and dreadful past. Tantalus, the Lydian king and Pelops' father, is the family's ancestor. Tantalus performed a dreadful act when he offered his own son Pelops to the gods as proof of their omniscience. This terrible act caused a series of misfortunes that befell the family's subsequent generations.

The House of Atreus, one of the most dysfunctional families in Greek mythology, is represented by irrepressible evil conduct, adultery, discord, and tragic catastrophes. The family's curse endured for generation after generation, spurring more acts of revenge and retribution. In summary, the House of Atreus, a well-known and tragic familial line in Greek mythology, is renowned for its betrayals, cruel acts, and terrible history, all of which have served as the subject of several old tales.
