Status Updates From Aeschylus II: The Oresteia ...

"No... the house that hates god, an echoing womb of guilt, kinsmen torturing kinsmen, severed heads, slaughterhouse of heroes, soil streaming blood"

Re-read the Agamemnon, which is perhaps my favorite of all the Greek plays. Like most of the best authors of antiquity, Aeschylus produces compelling and timeless drama. Once Cassandra arrives, the whole play builds to a roiling boil which is marvelous to read.
