In Greek mythology, Thyestes was a king of Olympia. Thyestes and his brother, were exiled by their father for having murdered their half-brother, Chrysippus, in their desire for the throne of Olympia, they took refuge in Mycenae, where they ascended the throne upon the absence of King Eurystheus, fighting the Heracleidae. Eurystheus had meant for their lordship to be temporary; the most popular representation of Thyestes is that of the play Thyestes by Seneca in 62 AD. This play is one of the originals for the revenge tragedy genre. Although inspired by Greek mythology and legend, Seneca's version is different. Thyestes was the son of Pelops and Hippodamia, father of Pelopia and Aegisthus, his three sons by a naiad, killed by Atreus were named Aglaus and Calaeus. Pelops and Hippodamia are parents to Thyestes. However, they were cursed by a servant of King Oenomaus, the father of Hippodamia. Myrtilus was promised the right to Hippodamia's virginity and half of Pelops' kingdom, but Pelops denied both to him and killed him by throwing him into the sea.

With his dying gasp, Myrtilus cursed their line, where Thyestes and Atreus comes in. Thyestes' brother and King of Mycenae, vowed to sacrifice his best lamb to Artemis. Upon searching his flock, Atreus discovered a golden lamb which he gave to his wife, Aerope, to hide from the goddess, she gave it to her lover, who convinced Atreus to agree that whoever had the lamb should be king. Thyestes claimed the throne. Atreus retook the throne using advice. Thyestes agreed to give the kingdom back when the sun moved backwards in the sky, a feat that Zeus accomplished. Atreus retook banished Thyestes. Atreus learned of Thyestes' and Aerope's adultery and plotted revenge, he cooked them, save their hands and heads. He served Thyestes his own sons and taunted him with their hands and heads; this is the source of modern phrase "Thyestean Feast," or one. When Thyestes was done with his feast, he released a loud belch, which represents satiety and pleasure and his loss of self-control. An oracle advised Thyestes that, if he had a son with his own daughter Pelopia, that son would kill Atreus.

Thyestes did so by raping Pelopia and the son, did kill Atreus. However, when Aegisthus was first born, he was abandoned by his mother, ashamed of the origin of her son. A shepherd found the infant gave him to Atreus, who raised him as his own son. Only as he entered adulthood did Thyestes reveal the truth to Aegisthus, that he was both father and grandfather to the boy and that Atreus was his uncle. Aegisthus killed Atreus. While Thyestes ruled Mycenae, the sons of Atreus and Menelaus, were exiled to Sparta. There, King Tyndareus accepted them as the royalty. Shortly after, he helped the brothers return to Mycenae to overthrow Thyestes, forcing him to live in Cytheria, where he died; as a token of good will and allegiance, King Tyndareus offered his daughters to Agamemnon and Menelaus as wives and Helen respectively. When Agamemnon left Mycenae for the Trojan War, Aegisthus seduced Agamemnon's wife and the couple plotted to kill her husband upon his return, they succeeded, killing his new concubine, Cassandra.

Clytemnestra and Aegisthus had three children: Aletes and Helen who died as an infant. Seven or eight years after the death of Agamemnon, Agamemnon's son Orestes returned to Mycenae and, with the help of his cousin Pylades and his sister Electra, killed both their mother and Aegisthus. Tired of the bloodshed, the gods exonerated Orestes and declared this the end of the curse on the house of Atreus, as described in Aeschylus' play The Eumenides. However, other stories say that when Aletes and Erigone came of age and became rulers at Mycenae, Orestes returned with an army killed his half-brother and raped his half-sister, who gave birth to a son, Penthilus. In the first century AD, Seneca the Younger wrote. In 1560 Jasper Heywood a Fellow of All Souls College, published a verse translation. Shakespeare's tragedy Titus Andronicus derives some of its plot elements from the story of Thyestes. In 1681, John Crowne wrote Thyestes, A Tragedy, based on Seneca's Thyestes, but with the incongruous addition of a love story.

Prosper Jolyot Crebillon wrote a tragedy "Atree et Thyeste", prominent in two tales of ratiocination by Edgar Allan Poe. In 1796, Ugo Foscolo wrote a tragedy called Tieste, first presented in Venice one year later. Caryl Churchill, a British dramatist wrote a rendition of Thyestes. Churchill's specific translation was performed at the Royal Court Theater Upstairs in London on June 7, 1994 In 2004, Jan van Vlijmen completed his opera Thyeste; the libretto was a text in French based on his 20th century play with the same title. Thyestes appears in Persephone. Seneca's influence in literature is reflected through other works. In Arnold's Sonnet on Shakespeare, the influence of Seneca is apparent.
