The only surviving example of a trilogy of ancient Greek plays, the Oresteia was originally performed at the Dionysia festival in Athens in 458 BC, where it won first prize. “The individual plays probably did not originally have titles of their own” The term “Oresteia” originally probably referred to all four plays, but today is generally used to designate only the surviving trilogy.
