But the Oresteia of Aeschylus, as far as I remember, very clearly implies that Clytemnestra and Aegisthus were wrong to try to punish Agamemnon. I do not think Aeschylus concedes that Agamemnon did anything wrong.
Euripides was famously more “progressive” than Aeschylus, to the point of getting mocked about it by the more conservative Aristophanes IIRC. Athens had its own politics (lots of it!) and while history may not be an exact circle, sometimes it rhymes pretty hard.
