Organizations of the Dune universe
Multiple organizations of the Dune universe dominate the political, religious, and social arena of the fictional setting of Frank Herbert's Dune series of science fiction novels, and derivative works. Set tens of thousands of years in the future, the saga chronicles a civilization which has banned computers but has also developed advanced technology and mental and physical abilities through physical training, eugenics and the use of the drug melange. Specialized groups of individuals have aligned themselves in organizations focusing on specific abilities, technology and goals. Herbert's concepts of human evolution and technology have been analyzed and deconstructed in at least one book, The Science of Dune (2008). His originating 1965 novel Dune is popularly considered one of the greatest science fiction novels of all time, and is frequently cited as the best-selling science fiction novel in history.Dune and its five sequels by Herbert explore the complex and multilayered interactions of politics, religion, ecology and technology, among other themes.

Agamemnon
In Greek mythology, Agamemnon (/æɡəˈmɛmnɒn/; Greek: Ἀγαμέμνων from *Ἀγαμέδμων [from ἄγαν, "very much" and μέδομαι, "think on"], "very steadfast") was the son of King Atreus and Queen Aerope of Mycenae, the brother of Menelaus, the husband of Clytemnestra and the father of Iphigenia, Electra or Laodike (Λαοδίκη), Orestes and Chrysothemis. Mythical legends make him the king of Mycenae or Argos, thought to be different names for the same area. When Helen, the wife of Menelaus, ran off with Paris of Troy, Agamemnon commanded the united Greek armed forces in the ensuing Trojan War.
Upon Agamemnon's return from Troy, he was murdered (according to the oldest surviving account, Odyssey 11.409–11) by Aegisthus, the lover of his wife, Clytemnestra. In old versions of the story, the scene of the murder, when it is specified, is usually the house of Aegisthus, who has not taken up residence in Agamemnon's palace, and it involves an ambush and the deaths of Agamemnon's followers as well. In some later versions Clytemnestra herself does the killing, or they do it together, in his own home.

Oresteia
The Oresteia (Ancient Greek: Ὀρέστεια) is a trilogy of Greek tragedies written by Aeschylus concerning the end of the curse on the House of Atreus. The name derives from the character Orestes, who sets out to avenge his father's murder.
The only extant example of an ancient Greek theater trilogy, the Oresteia won first prize at the Dionysia festival in 458 BC. When originally performed, it was accompanied by Proteus, a satyr play that would have followed the trilogy. Proteus has not survived, however. In all likelihood the term "Oresteia" originally referred to all four plays; today it generally designates only the surviving trilogy.
Many consider the Oresteia to be Aeschylus' finest work. Principal themes of the trilogy include the contrast between revenge and justice, as well as the transition from personal vendetta to organized litigation.
Agamemnon
Introduction
The play Agamemnon (Ἀγαμέμνων, Agamemnōn) details the homecoming of Agamemnon, King of Argos, from the Trojan War. Waiting at home for him is his wife, Clytemnestra, who has been planning his murder, partly as revenge for the sacrifice of their daughter, Iphigenia, and partly because in the ten years of Agamemnon's absence Clytemnestra has entered into an adulterous relationship with Aegisthus, Agamemnon's cousin and the sole survivor of a dispossessed branch of the family (Agamemnon's father, Atreus, killed and fed Aegisthus's brothers to Aegisthus's father, Thyestes, when he took power from him), who is determined to regain the throne he believes should rightfully belong to him.

Agamemnon (Zeus)
Agamemnon or Zeus Agamemnon (Gr. Ἀγαμέμνων) was a cultic epithet of the Greek god Zeus, under which he was worshiped at Sparta. Some writers, such as Eustathius, thought that the god derived this name from the resemblance between him and the Greek hero Agamemnon; others that Zeus Agamemnon was merely a synecdoche glorifying the hero, not the god. Still others believed it to be a mere epithet signifying the eternal, from agan (ἀγὰν) and menon (μένων).

The Oresteia (In Our Time)
Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the ‘Oresteia’, the seminal trilogy of tragedies by Aeschylus. The composer Richard Wagner recalled the visceral sensations of reading Aeschylus' great trilogy for the first time. "I could see the Oresteia with my mind's eye ... Nothing could equal the sublime emotion with which the Agamemnon inspired me; and to the last word of the Eumenides, I remained in an atmosphere so far removed from the present day that I have never since been really able to reconcile myself with modern literature." Aeschylus' audience were all familiar with the tale of one man's return home from the Trojan War. Homer's Odyssey recounted Odysseus' perilous journey home, the forceful ejection of the suitors from his household and his reunion with wife Penelope and son Telemachus. Aesc...

Oresteia Summary (Agamemnon, Libation Bearers and Eumenides)
This is a seven minute summary of the four hour Greek drama called The Oresteia - the masterwork of Aeschylus. The entire staging is available from www.MacMillanFilms.com It tells the story of what happens to Agamemnon, after he returns, from winning the 10-year war at Troy. His beautiful wife Clytemnestra is waiting for him with every outward sign of affection and longing. The original audience didn’t give a damn about Agamemnon. The Greeks had just invented Democracy – Agamemnon is a tyrant from their distant past. The only reason the audience, and you, should paid any attention to Agamemnon, is because he is a metaphor for the state – for democracy. Everything in Greek drama is pregnant with meaning. The chorus of old men, hope that Clytemnestra has forgiven Agamemnon for past viole...

Aeschylus' audience were all familiar with the tale of one man's return home from the Trojan War. Homer's Odyssey recounted Odysseus' perilous journey home, the forceful ejection of the suitors from his household and his reunion with wife Penelope and son Telemachus. Aeschylus had a very different tale of homecoming to tell in his Oresteia. Agamemnon arrives home from Troy to a murderous welcome from a vengeful wife and a cycle of atrocities unfolds in his household. The Oresteia has inspired some of the greatest artists and thinkers of the modern world. From Richard Wagner and Friedrich Nietzsche to T.S. Eliot and Simone de Beauvoir – the ‘Oresteia’ has fired the modern imagination.Why did Aeschylus make the family the subject of his bloody revenge tragedy? How did his trilogy make a contribution to the development of Athenian legal institutions? And why has the Oresteia had such a powerful hold over the modern imagination? With Edith Hall, Professor of Greek Cultural History at Durham University; Simon Goldhill, Professor of Greek at the University of Cambridge; Tom Healy, Professor of Renaissance Studies at Birkbeck College, University of London.

Oresteia (opera)
Oresteia (Орестея in Cyrillic) is an opera in three parts, eight tableaux, by Sergei Taneyev, composed during 1887-1894.
(Strictly speaking, the composer titled the work a "musical trilogy.") The Russian libretto was adapted by A.A. Wenkstern
from the The Oresteia of Aeschylus. The opera was premiered on October 29 [O.S. October 17] 1895 at the Mariinsky Theatre.
The most well-known excerpt from Oresteia is the entr'acte played before the second tableau of Part III,
"The Temple of Apollo at Delphi." This passage, as well as other themes from the opera, figured into one of Taneyev's
other works, namely, his orchestral overture entitled Oresteia (1889). This overture -- not included in the printed
score of this opera -- constitutes a separate 18-minute-long symphonic poem based on themes from the trilogy.

This is a seven minute summary of the four hour Greek drama called The Oresteia - the masterwork of Aeschylus. The entire staging is available from www.MacMillanFilms.com
It tells the story of what happens to Agamemnon, after he returns, from winning the 10-year war at Troy. His beautiful wife Clytemnestra is waiting for him with every outward sign of affection and longing.
The original audience didn’t give a damn about Agamemnon. The Greeks had just invented Democracy – Agamemnon is a tyrant from their distant past. The only reason the audience, and you, should paid any attention to Agamemnon, is because he is a metaphor for the state – for democracy. Everything in Greek drama is pregnant with meaning.
The chorus of old men, hope that Clytemnestra has forgiven Agamemnon for past violence – they tell the back-story of how war requires depravity – using an analogy of two eagles and a pregnant hare. A messenger arrives with news of Agamemnon’s approach…
Soon he will be home – and she will have her way with him. 10 years of pent-up yearning – she wants everything to be perfect – Look she is laying out the original “red-carpet” for him – an ocean of sacred peplos garments – priceless – profane. The central action of the drama is the debate (or agon) between them – reasoned argumentation is at the heart of every Greek drama – Will she convince him to walk out on this profanity?
Oh, yes – but in her haste to have her way with him – Clytemnestra has not forgotten – her husband’s concubine. No, no, she pops back out to invite Cassandra to join them at the alter.
The beautiful daughter of King Priam – now Agamemnon’s sex slave – has the gift of foresight – she knows they walk to their doom – but no one comprehends her words.
Agamemnon is soon crying out... and Clytemnestra rolls out on the ekkyklêma to gloat over his dead body and that of Cassandra.
It is now that we learn that Clytemnestra - has not been chaste at all. In fact she boasts of enjoying 10 years of adultery with - her lover Aegisthus – her husband’s enemy.
And in a breathtaking scene – this power couple assert that they will now rule in Argos as king and queen. And anyone who objects with soon be brought to heel - with a heavy yoke about their neck. So ends the first of the 3 plays in the Oresteia.
The second play begins unexpectedly in a cemetery – the children of Agamemnon meet over the tomb of their murdered father. They learn that his funeral was a further desecration …
They get to work plotting their revenge. Orestes elicits Electra’s complicity in a scheme (which pulls in the other household slaves).
Orestes (with his trusted friend Pylades) will pose as travels and once they have pleaded for hospitality – food and shelter in the palace – they will violate Xenia and slaughter their hosts. It is a heinous plan – but it works – and after a little trepidation before slitting his mother’s throat - Pylades speaks-up for the first time – and Orestes commits matricide.
The ekkyklêma wheels out once more – but this time things are different - instead of gloating – and Orestes asserting that he will now become king and master of his inheritance – he reels from psychosis and runs off stage. So ends the second drama of the Oresteia.
The staging features Peter Arnott's vivid line-by-line translation and the acting talents of Tanya Rodina, Morgan Marcum, Elena Shiskina, Olya Gubanova, Georgia Kate Haege, Kelly Addyman and James Thomas.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the ‘Oresteia’, the seminal trilogy of tragedies by Aeschylus. The composer Richard Wagner recalled the visceral sensations of reading Aeschylus' great trilogy for the first time. "I could see the Oresteia with my mind's eye ... Nothing could equal the sublime emotion with which the Agamemnon inspired me; and to the last word of the Eumenides, I remained in an atmosphere so far removed from the present day that I have never since been really able to reconcile myself with modern literature." Aeschylus' audience were all familiar with the tale of one man's return home from the Trojan War. Homer's Odyssey recounted Odysseus' perilous journey home, the forceful ejection of the suitors from his household and his reunion with wife Penelope and son Telemachus. Aeschylus had a very different tale of homecoming to tell in his Oresteia. Agamemnon arrives home from Troy to a murderous welcome from a vengeful wife and a cycle of atrocities unfolds in his household. The Oresteia has inspired some of the greatest artists and thinkers of the modern world. From Richard Wagner and Friedrich Nietzsche to T.S. Eliot and Simone de Beauvoir – the ‘Oresteia’ has fired the modern imagination.Why did Aeschylus make the family the subject of his bloody revenge tragedy? How did his trilogy make a contribution to the development of Athenian legal institutions? And why has the Oresteia had such a powerful hold over the modern imagination? With Edith Hall, Professor of Greek Cultural History at Durham University; Simon Goldhill, Professor of Greek at the University of Cambridge; Tom Healy, Professor of Renaissance Studies at Birkbeck College, University of London.

Oresteia (opera)
Oresteia (Орестея in Cyrillic) is an opera in three parts, eight tableaux, by Sergei Taneyev, composed during 1887-1894.
(Strictly speaking, the composer titled the work a "musical trilogy.") The Russian libretto was adapted by A.A. Wenkstern
from the The Oresteia of Aeschylus. The opera was premiered on October 29 [O.S. October 17] 1895 at the Mariinsky Theatre.
The most well-known excerpt from Oresteia is the entr'acte played before the second tableau of Part III,
"The Temple of Apollo at Delphi." This passage, as well as other themes from the opera, figured into one of Taneyev's
other works, namely, his orchestral overture entitled Oresteia (1889). This overture -- not included in the printed
score of this opera -- constitutes a separate 18-minute-long symphonic poem based on themes from the trilogy.

This is a seven minute summary of the four hour Greek drama called The Oresteia - the masterwork of Aeschylus. The entire staging is available from www.MacMillanFilms.com
It tells the story of what happens to Agamemnon, after he returns, from winning the 10-year war at Troy. His beautiful wife Clytemnestra is waiting for him with every outward sign of affection and longing.
The original audience didn’t give a damn about Agamemnon. The Greeks had just invented Democracy – Agamemnon is a tyrant from their distant past. The only reason the audience, and you, should paid any attention to Agamemnon, is because he is a metaphor for the state – for democracy. Everything in Greek drama is pregnant with meaning.
The chorus of old men, hope that Clytemnestra has forgiven Agamemnon for past violence – they tell the back-story of how war requires depravity – using an analogy of two eagles and a pregnant hare. A messenger arrives with news of Agamemnon’s approach…
Soon he will be home – and she will have her way with him. 10 years of pent-up yearning – she wants everything to be perfect – Look she is laying out the original “red-carpet” for him – an ocean of sacred peplos garments – priceless – profane. The central action of the drama is the debate (or agon) between them – reasoned argumentation is at the heart of every Greek drama – Will she convince him to walk out on this profanity?
Oh, yes – but in her haste to have her way with him – Clytemnestra has not forgotten – her husband’s concubine. No, no, she pops back out to invite Cassandra to join them at the alter.
The beautiful daughter of King Priam – now Agamemnon’s sex slave – has the gift of foresight – she knows they walk to their doom – but no one comprehends her words.
Agamemnon is soon crying out... and Clytemnestra rolls out on the ekkyklêma to gloat over his dead body and that of Cassandra.
It is now that we learn that Clytemnestra - has not been chaste at all. In fact she boasts of enjoying 10 years of adultery with - her lover Aegisthus – her husband’s enemy.
And in a breathtaking scene – this power couple assert that they will now rule in Argos as king and queen. And anyone who objects with soon be brought to heel - with a heavy yoke about their neck. So ends the first of the 3 plays in the Oresteia.
The second play begins unexpectedly in a cemetery – the children of Agamemnon meet over the tomb of their murdered father. They learn that his funeral was a further desecration …
They get to work plotting their revenge. Orestes elicits Electra’s complicity in a scheme (which pulls in the other household slaves).
Orestes (with his trusted friend Pylades) will pose as travels and once they have pleaded for hospitality – food and shelter in the palace – they will violate Xenia and slaughter their hosts. It is a heinous plan – but it works – and after a little trepidation before slitting his mother’s throat - Pylades speaks-up for the first time – and Orestes commits matricide.
The ekkyklêma wheels out once more – but this time things are different - instead of gloating – and Orestes asserting that he will now become king and master of his inheritance – he reels from psychosis and runs off stage. So ends the second drama of the Oresteia.
The staging features Peter Arnott's vivid line-by-line translation and the acting talents of Tanya Rodina, Morgan Marcum, Elena Shiskina, Olya Gubanova, Georgia Kate Haege, Kelly Addyman and James Thomas.

Organizations of the Dune universe
Multiple organizations of the Dune universe dominate the political, religious, and social arena of the fictional setting of Frank Herbert's Dune series of science fiction novels, and derivative works. Set tens of thousands of years in the future, the saga chronicles a civilization which has banned computers but has also developed advanced technology and mental and physical abilities through physical training, eugenics and the use of the drug melange. Specialized groups of individuals have aligned themselves in organizations focusing on specific abilities, technology and goals. Herbert's concepts of human evolution and technology have been analyzed and deconstructed in at least one book, The Science of Dune (2008). His originating 1965 novel Dune is popularly considered one of the greatest science fiction novels of all time, and is frequently cited as the best-selling science fiction novel in history.Dune and its five sequels by Herbert explore the complex and multilayered interactions of politics, religion, ecology and technology, among other themes.
