ultimately overcorrecting in its understanding of Aeschylus vis a vis gender and women, but an excellent example of how to read the trilogy back to front and why it's critical to keep the hung jury of the Eumenides in mind throughout the entire Oresteia

my kingdom for a reference to the implications if Orestes is or is not played by the same actor as Agamemnon!!!

I do love the rhetorical move of just going "there is more to say about x," which shows up as a transitional sentence in just about every subsection. wonder if I could get away with that in my own writing.

I think I agree with the overall main claim of this book but don't buy any of the actual arguments it's making to support that claim. which is an interesting reading experience.
