I do not have context for this play but this bit of Clytemnestra talking about Agamemnon is driving me insane

[that-faerie-in-the-corner]

Ranking various women of greek mythology based on whether or not i think they like their men covered in blood:

Cassandra: I don't think cassandra likes men period but if she did she would have no interest in romantic violence Andromache: if anything she would probably like her husband covered in blood less that man gives her heart attacks like every other day. she wants hector safe at home being her weighted blanket where he BELONGS

Aegialeia: if she did she would have probably liked diomedes more (SORRY MAN)

Deidamia: probably not a deal breaker but not really her thing. she fell in love with the artisan in achilles and his girlish charm yknow. she is hosing him down like a muddy dog Dido: not particularly she doesn't strike me as the type but she would be drawn to a guy willing to get covered in blood to protect her or assist in her Initiative if need be Penelope: I don't think she is turned on by the blood or the capacity for violence itself she also prefers her husband safe at home, however i do think she likes that odysseus is so insane style obsessed with her he would commit massive acts of violence in her name. plus tenderly washing said blood off Electra: she needs someone that is rocking with her and her Agenda if that involves getting covered in blood with her fuck yeah baby she's into that! Certified would kiss a guy after he killed someone Medea: honestly given just the like, how she is she would probably consider receiving the severed hand of her enemy as a gift horribly romantic. only reason i hesitate is tbh she might be more into getting covered in blood for someone else than the other way around if that makes sense. i think she does like them a little pathetic Helen: look she yelled at paris for not going to fight, openly wished menelaus killed him in the iliad, and in euripides helen she literally watches menelaus kill a bunch of guys and goes Yay yay yippee!! its canon to me you cannot convince me otherwise. don't they kill deiphobus together in one myth #couplegoals Iphigenia: She literally would have! it's real to me! she has a soldier's heart, she was hoping for achilles to slaughter the trojans swiftly and run right back home into her waiting arms all covered in the results of his labor. this is why fate had to separate them they would match each other's freak too much Clytemnestra: you can't convince me she doesn't that woman is insane. i have a very vivid vision i may or may not draw of agamemnon coming home from some pre trojan war conquest more red than anything and before he can wash off cly like hooks her legs around his waist and pulls him into her and is like "no. like this." and he is like holy shit im so in love with you right now. also cly and aegisthus probably fucked like DIRECTLY after killing agamemnon and cassandra they did not give a FUCK at that point.

Clytemnestra and Agamemnon

[hermesmoly]

"it is the war she fights at home, with herself, and has been losing" alexa play "i can't let this go, i fight with you in my sleep, the wound won't close, i keep on waiting for a sign... I regret you all the time."

Ship game ask: Agamemnon x Clytemnestra!

Ship It

What made you ship it?

I don't think I have much of a reason? I think they have the potential to have a very "Old married couple" dynamic pre-The incident™

What are your favorite things about the ship?

I like the messiness. This may seem weird but I do prefer Euripides' version where Agamemnon killed Clytemnestra's previous husband and child, and I like specially combining it with the myth of Agamemnon and Menelaus hiding in Sparta after their exile, I think it could bring a very fucked situation of Clytemnestra seeing her close friend (that she may or may not had a crush on) murder her husband and son and having to deal with the complicated feelings afterwards.

Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?

My unpopular opinion on this ship is just me shipping it in general I think /j But seriously, the story is more compelling TO ME (emphasis on ME) when I think they at least liked each other

modern au clytemnestra and agamemnon divorce when iphigenia is 4 years old, and then have elektra, orestes, and chrysothemis

[thhouseofblack]

my hot take is that clytemnestra did not deserve better actually. both her and agamemnon deserved each other! a match made in hell!
