Aeschylus was the first of the three great tragic playwrights. The Oresteian Trilogy is the exciting story of the end of the curse of the House of Atreus. Sophocles, "famous for wisdom," won the playwright competition at the Festival of Dionysus many times. Here, in The Three Theban Plays, is his story of Oedipus. It is the great myth, influencing all subsequent literature. Euripides further developed the tragedy in Medea & Other Plays, instituting the deus ex machina, a prologue with a background, and greater realism. These plays together provide a comprehensive year-long literature or classical studies course for high school.
