Oresteia: Murder, Infidelity, Vengeance, Juries

To thicken the plot something more to consider …

I’m a bit of a history/ literary nerd and something about the Oresteia that everyone leaves out … it doesn’t say anything in any of the plays telling you that Agamemnon human sacrificed he and Clytemnestra’s daughter on the way to his little war in the first place. (yeah, they forget to mention this important detail.)

In all the woman hating that comes in the two thousand years after this whole “betrayal” never once in the whole affair do they outwardly tell you “by the way, Agamemnon human sacrificed their beloved daughter because he went on a hunting trip instead of campaigning against Troy like he set out …”

So take this while “betrayal” narrative with a grain of salty wtf
