Clytemnestra is a girlboss and did absolutely nothing wrong. Apollo is a shithead but I love him for it. The chorus makes no sense to me. I read these for a mythology course and maybe I sped through the readings maybe I didn't. Again Clytemnestra girlboss she makes me think of Lady Macbeth. Good thing modern writers are mostly past demonizing powerful women.

Read this while working on my minor in Classics at uni. I loved all the background and context that my teacher Dr Connie Rodriguez gave.

probably my favourite greek tragedy so far, it’s just so richly filled with texture, character development and lush writing.
