Hippolytus goes on a bit longer than I had hoped, but it is fun. Aphrodite is villainous, and twists people to doing bad shit, as she always does. Since this play felt like it dragged in comparison to Antigone and Agamemnon, it'll be lower rated. Say 3/5

Agamemnon: this lad is a good tragedy, if only the book had the other two!! But nonetheless, it sets up a great storyline of treason, Betrayal, kinslaying, and of course cannibalism, everyone's favorite. It is hard to see Clytaemestra is wrong in her judgement, but it is a little hard to feel sad at Agamemnon's death. Maybe if I had read the Iliad, I would feel more for him. But currently, I am glad. 4.5/5
