Choephori, or The Libation Bearers, is the second in the Oresteian trilogy on the House of Atreus, written by Aeschylus. It deals with the reunion of Agamemnon‘s children, Electra and Orestes, and their revenge upon their mother Clytemnestra for the murder of Agamemnon, which takes place in the first play, Agamemnon. The title refers to the chorus of libation bearers who supports and encourages Electra and Orestes in their quest for justice. The Oresteia is the only extant example of an ancient Greek theatre trilogy.

I've heard a few Aeschylus plays read by a single narrator, and I enjoyed her more than most. I disagreed with some of her word pronunciations, but the distractions were momentary.
I liked the flow and rhyme of the translation as well.
