Status Updates From Las Euménides

orestes got tf out of there in real quick in case they changed their mind

absolutely convinced that the repeated εὐφαμεῖτε/ὀλολύξατε are calls to the audience to sing along

once again thinking of the time I saw the whole Oresteia at Epidaurus last year and when Athena established the court of the Areopagus the whole audience clapped ❤️

I have to believe that at least some of the Erinyes' songs ended up as the pop music sensations of 450s Athens

it took seeing a production of Brigadoon for me to go “oh THAT’s why there are so many choral search/chase scenes in Greek tragedy.” would love to see this one choreographed decently someday

oh the Furies are absolutely doing that thing dogs do when they twitch their legs while asleep and you know they're dreaming of chasing squirrels

Almost done. Yippee! This is hard

reading in Greek 🙈 liking it so far!
