Book Excerpt:

                            A lover weighs
More than a child in any woman's heart.

ORESTES.

But what end seeks Aegisthus, by such art
Of shame?

ELECTRA.

          To make mine unborn children low
And weak, even as my husband.

ORESTES.

ELECTRA.

For which may I requite him!

تنگدستی وبینوایی به آدمی می آموزد از سر نیاز
پلید وبدکار باشد."

خوبی ماجرا اینه که فیلم Troy رو چهل بار دیدم

یعنی میدونستم آگاممنون میره تروا دنبال هلن که ربوده شده و پیروز برمیگرده

چیز دیگه‌ای که نمیدونستم اینه که دختری داره به اسم الکترا (به غیر از اون دختری که قربانیش میکنه) و پسری به اسم اورست

Euripides' take on the vengeance of Orestes

I clearly remember reading this play for university and one of the things that the lecturer spoke about was how we have, from all three of the surviving tragedians, a extant plays that deals with the same subject, being the murder of Aegisthus

Η Κλυταιμνύστρα,μιλώντας στην Ηλέκτρα:

"[..]Μα όταν
πέφτει στο σφάλμα ο άντρας,τη δικιά του
παραμερίζοντας γυναίκα,τότε
