Is Tumblr a fan of this trend by any chance? Because I spent way too long on this

"Gods, gods bring us justice" - Elektra in The Oresteia by Aeschylus

I love the Oresteia like I love very few other stories out there. Truly one of the greatest plays of all time.

The way the Trojan war affected the next generation is so interesting. They all essentially lost their parents to the war - even the parents that were physically there with them (Penelope & Clytemnestra) were lost to them.

These characters are so criticized and viewed as flawed, sometimes there is no empathy for them by readers, when their behavior is very much the result of their parents’ absence.

Hot take (apparently) but Clytemnestra is not that much better than Agamemnon when it come to their children. In fact, I would argue that she is worse

#all sources depict agamemnon as incredibly loving to all his children and YES THIS INCLUDE IPHIGENIA #if you think agamemnon sacrifice iphigenia because he doesn't love her then congratulations you missed the fucking point #her sacrifice was demanded by a GODDESS none of them have much say in that matter #of course his hubris doomed him but that doesn't change that he was devastated at her sacrifice #i don't want to villainize clytemnestra but yall need to understand that she is not a saint #yes she was a loving mother before the sacrifice but it doesn't change the fact that she attempted to kill her son and abused her remaining-#-daughters after that #this might be shocking to yall but killing an innocent woman trying to kill your son and abusing your daughters is not feminist or righteous #clytemnestra #agamemnon #iphigenia #orestes #elektra #chrysothemis #house of atreus #greek mythology #greek myth

Elektra stronger than me because if my dad was murdered and the guy who co-killed him ended up living in my house wearing my dad's clothes pouring his libations and sleeping with my mom who betrayed me and forced me to rejoice in his death every month, kept me from any good marriage and makes fun of me, all the while my youngest brother is away for his own safety and losing my sister inch by inch because she ended up obeying them I would actually go through killing myself
