He did not fail in love, but he lost his joy of it, for I was no longer part of his solitude. As my intimacy with his family grew I became part of the world which he sought to escape; I became one of the bonds which held him.

every iconic fictional trio consists of a “be gay do crimes” idiot, a prodigy with an unexisting sleeping schedule and someone who hates life but wholeheartedly believes in the power of love. they’re all kinda intelligent on their own but when they’re together their braincell count drops to 0.

there really is an incredible intimacy in killing in greek tragedy. it’s so often the people who are closest to each other, the people who love each other most, who kill each other. of course agamemnon kills his daughter, his oldest child, and is killed by his wife and then his son kills his mother as she faces him and bares the breast that suckled him. megara and her children die at the hands of her husband heracles who then in turn is killed by his wife deianira. agave and medea kill their sons with their own hands. theseus condemns his son to die and creon his niece. and so many die at the most familiar hands of all, their own, antigone and haemon and eurydice and deianira and jocasta and phaedra and ajax.
