Horestes
''Horestes'' is a late Tudor morality play by the English dramatist John Pickering. It was first published in published in 1567 and was most likely performed by Lord Rich's men as part of the Christmas revels at court that year.〔Bevington (1962, 61).〕 The play's full title is ''A new interlude of Vice containing the history of Horestes with the cruel revengement of his father's death upon his one natural mother.''
==Source and text==
The play dramatises the story of the ancient Greek myth of Orestes. Rather than Aeschylus' trilogy of Athenian tragedies ''Oresteia'' (458 BCE), however, Pickering's source for his version of the story is William Caxton's translation of the French romance ''Recuyell of the Historyes of Troye'' (translated in 1475).〔Farnham (1936, 259) and Bevington (1962, 179).〕 Consequently, the play's theme and dramatic structure are more medieval than classical.〔Bevington (1962, 179).〕
Only one copy of the play is extant, which the British Museum holds.〔See the introductory note to the facsimile edition (Farmer, 1910); this edition is available online - see below.〕 It was published by William Griffith of Fleet Street, London for sale at his shop in St. Dunstan's churchyard.〔See the frontispiece to the 1567 edition (above).〕
