Five stars for the Eumenides. Funny, thought provoking, interesting resolution to the problem.

The Bacchae 4/5 interesting comparison between the traditional role of women versus the Bacchic rituals. The references to the mystic rites that have real world history and the repetition of the respect to be given to gods were other memorable parts.

Oedipus at Colonus 3/5 I liked the foreshadowing to the next part of the story between Polynices and Antigone. I wish Antigone and Ismene were more active players in the story but at least there was the presence of women and not just men talking.
