A work written in the later years of Aeschylus. It is the only trilogy of three parts that remain intact, collectively known as Oresteia: Agamemnon, The Offertory Women, and The Charms. The name comes from Orestes. The first part depicts the murder of Orestes's mother, Clytemnestra, and in the second part, Orestes kills his mother after receiving an oracle from Apollo demanding revenge. In the third part, Orestes is pursued by the Erinyes, the god of vengeance, and is reconciled with the goddess Athena at her discretion. This tragedy depicts the efforts to bring order through law based on justice. It succinctly depicts the demands of the gods and the fate of the humans who respond to them, and is written in a unique, tense, grandiose language that epitomizes the life of a tragic human being. →Related article Agamemnon | Greek tragedy Source : Heibonsha Encyclopedia About MyPedia Information |
アイスキュロスの晩年の作。3編が完全に残る唯一の三部作で,総称して〈Oresteia〉。《アガメムノン》《供養する女たち》《慈みの女神たち》。名はオレステスに由来する。第1部ではオレステスの母クリュタイムネストラによる夫殺しが描かれ,第2部では復讐(ふくしゅう)を要求するアポロンの神託によりオレステスは母を殺す。第3部では,逆にオレステスが,今度は復讐神エリニュエスに追われ,女神アテナの裁きで和解する。ここで打ち出されるのは,正義に基づいた法によって秩序をもたらさんとする努力である。神々の要求とそれに応じる人間の運命とが端的に描かれ,悲劇的人間の生き方の典型を,独特の張りつめた壮大な言語で仕立てた悲劇である。 →関連項目アガメムノン|ギリシア悲劇 出典 株式会社平凡社百科事典マイペディアについて 情報 |
