play #4: Iphigenia at Aulis - imagine leading an army set to rescue your SIL and the winds just aren't having it so this random monk tells you to sacrifice your daughter and you follow through with it. I personally could not, but ancient greek kings were on another level of literal “fuck around and find out” vibes.

divine frenzy is a reasonable excuse in mistaking your son for a lion. RIP Pentheus, you would've hated the Catholic Church.

fin. play #2 Orestes: Apollo swooping in a second time to play family counsellor, where the generational trauma lies in being blood-thirsty, god-pleasing, revenge-driven souls. if your mum was Clytemnestra, you too would be haunted and/or inspired by the amount of blood spilled by her and her sister.

fin. play #1 Phoenician Women: that's a messed up family tree, no wonder Apollo said “not today for you or your bloodline”
