Dir. Anthony Mann (1950).
It’s not actually based on Aeschylus but the first of Anthony Mann’s Greek Tragedy westerns is still much (much) bigger than life, Barbara Stanwyck plays an aspiring Cattle Queen locked in mortal combat with her Olympian father (Walter Houston) and everyone else who stands in her way.
