The Persians: The Persians (Ancient Greek: Πέρσαι , "Persai", Latinised as "Persae") is an ancient Greek tragedy written during the Classical period of Ancient Greece by the Greek tragedian Aeschylus.  It is the second and only surviving part of a now otherwise lost trilogy that won the first prize at the dramatic competitions in Athens’ City Dionysia festival in 472 BCE, with Pericles serving as "choregos".

Ichneutae: The Ichneutae (Ancient Greek: Ἰχνευταί , "Ichneutai", "trackers"), also known as the Searchers, Trackers or Tracking Satyrs, is a fragmentary satyr play by the fifth-century BC Athenian dramatist Sophocles.  Three nondescript quotations in ancient authors were all that was known of the play until 1912, when the extensive remains of a second-century CE papyrus roll of the "Ichneutae" were published among the Oxyrhynchus Papyri.  With more than four hundred lines surviving in their entirety or in part, the "Ichneutae" is now the best preserved ancient satyr play after Euripides' "Cyclops", the only fully extant example of the genre.

Seven Against Thebes: Seven Against Thebes (Ancient Greek: Ἑπτὰ ἐπὶ Θήβας , "Hepta epi Thēbas"; ) is the third play in an Oedipus-themed trilogy produced by Aeschylus in 467 BC.  The trilogy is sometimes referred to as the Oedipodea.  It concerns the battle between an Argive army led by Polynices and the army of Thebes led by Eteocles and his supporters.  The trilogy won the first prize at the City Dionysia.  The trilogy's first two plays, "Laius" and "Oedipus", as well as the satyr play "Sphinx", are no longer extant.

Aegisthus: Aegisthus ( ; Ancient Greek: Αἴγισθος ; also transliterated as Aigisthos) is a figure in Greek mythology.  He was the son of Thyestes and his daughter, Pelopia.  The product of an incestuous union motivated by his father's rivalry with the house of Atreus for the throne of Mycenae, Aegisthus murdered Atreus to restore his father to power.  Later, he lost the throne to Atreus's son Agamemnon.

Alcmaeon in Corinth: Alcmaeon in Corinth (Ancient Greek: Ἀλκμαίων ὁ διὰ Κορίνθου , "Alkmaiōn ho dia Korinthou"; also known as "Alcmaeon at Corinth", "Alcmaeon") is a play by Greek dramatist Euripides.  It was first produced posthumously at the Dionysia in Athens, most likely in 405 BCE, in a trilogy with "The Bacchae" and "Iphigenia in Aulis".  The trilogy won first prize.  Except for a few fragments, "Alcmaeon in Corinth" has been lost.  Irish playwright Colin Teevan published a reconstruction of the play in 2005.  Approximately 23 fragments covering about 40 lines of "Alcmaeon in Corinth" are extant and were incorporated by Teevan in his reconstruction, although it is not certain that all these fragments belong to this play.  No complete scene has survived, nor has the cast of characters.

This album is the second and final part of a metal opera inspired by the Oresteia, a trilogy of Greek tragedies written by Aeschylus which concerns the end of the curse on the House of Atreus.  The music was intended to be the soundtrack for theatrical shows, with actors impersonating the characters of the tragedy.

Oresteia: The Oresteia (Ancient Greek: Ὀρέστεια ) is a trilogy of Greek tragedies written by Aeschylus concerning the murder of Agamemnon by Clytaemnestra, the murder of Clytaemnestra by Orestes, the trial of Orestes, the end of the curse on the House of Atreus and pacification of the Erinyes.  The trilogy—consisting of "Agamemnon" (Ἀγαμέμνων ), "The Libation Bearers" (Χοηφóρoι ), and "The Eumenides" (Εὐμενίδες )—also shows how the Greek gods interacted with the characters and influenced their decisions pertaining to events and disputes.  The only extant example of an ancient Greek theatre trilogy, the "Oresteia" won first prize at the Dionysia festival in 458 BC.  Many consider the "Oresteia" to be Aeschylus' finest work.  The principal themes of the trilogy include the contrast between revenge and justice, as well as the transition from personal vendetta to organized litigation.  "Orestia" originally included a satyr play, "Proteus" (Πρωτεύς ), following the tragic trilogy, but all except a single line of "Proteus" has been lost.
