...This is the story of 50 young women who flee from Egypt to their ancestral homeland, Argos, led by their father Danaus, to avoid being forced to marry their cousins. The king of Argos, Pelasgos, is faced with a difficult decision: to protect the young women and fight their pursuers, or to hand them over and risk the wrath and disaster of the gods. After consulting with the assembly, he decides to protect them. The Oresteia (458 BC) is the only trilogy that has survived in its entirety, consisting of the three stories Agamemnon, The Servants, and The Charities. *Some of the terminology explanations that mention "Pelasgos" are listed below.
