one of the funniest lines in aeschylus’ theatre is in the choephores when orestes is about to kill clytemnestra and he has a moment of hesitation and he just turns to pylades with his arm still raised in combat position and asks « pylades should i kill her » and pylades just seems to stand there for a second looking in bewilderment at him and going « …yes. yes . of course. she- oh zeus. orestes she literally murdered your father and exiled you when you were two to a guy she knew would be likely to either kill you or sell you into slavery. so yes. just fucking slit her throat already »

#the not fun murder duo as i call them #compared to the fun (interesting) murder trio in electra and orestes by euripides #euripides forever ♥️#classics

Reading Euripides’s “Hecuba” and it’s fascinating that he has Agamemnon, specifically, oppose sacrificing Hecuba’s daughter Polyxena after the war to appease/honor the demanding ghost of Achilles. The Athenian leaders, Neoptolemus, and, very prominently, Odysseus, convince the Greek forces to sacrifice Polyxena; Agamemnon seems to be the major voice opposing it.

Iphigenia’s name doesn’t come up, but Agamemnon’s resistance to sacrificing Polyxena even though Achilles demands it, Polyxena’s dignity in going to her sacrifice—it all evokes Iphigenia so strongly. A sacrifice of a noble daughter to begin and to end the war. Agamemnon’s sympathy and even kindness to Hecuba after Polyxena’s death makes me think he’s thinking of his own daughter sacrificed at the beginning of the war—and after ten years of this, ending right back where he started, in a way. His sympathy to Hecuba is extremely personal. He knows. He’s sorry.

#I mean he is still also explicitly named as going to Cassandra’s bed so he is also keeping Hecuba’s other daughter as a sex slave #So like. Agamemnon. He contains multitudes.#But one of those things is just Normal Stuff That Happens To Losers Of A War #And the other is a call for unnecessary blood spilled based on a ghost’s pride #I mean Euripides is also 100% sympathetic to Hecuba and Polyxena and casting the Greeks as being cruel here #whole passages about the cruelty of war-captive slavery as an institution #But. This was fascinating and striking to me!#I am an Agamemnon Hater™ and I think Clytemnestra was Valid but also. He’s thinking of his daughter too #The Trojan War is a tragedy for everybody. There’s a reason no one but Nestor had a happy and easy homecoming after everything they’d done #but it’s interesting to see Euripides clearly thinking that Agamemnon uniquely feels what Hecuba is feeling #And is kind to her in her grief #tagamemnon #Euripides

I wonder how the people who got mad at me for writing about sex work on my avatar blog would feel about that one Anne Carson quote a lot of fans associate with Azula comes from a pretty sexually explicit poem.

Yeah, the line about not being able to put her trauma down is from a poem about dealing with an incredibly upsetting break up by visiting her mother and reading Emily Brontë. She describes trying to convince her boyfriend to stay with her by stripping nude and turning around because he liked to fuck doggy style and that the last night they spent together he stayed limp but she came many times. One of the things she can't put down is thrusting her bare ass toward her uninterested boyfriend and the shame she feels looking back and the understanding she would have done the same no matter the circumstances of the break up.

Even i wasn't that explicit.

#sex work mention #the poem is called the glass essay btw and it's free to read on poetry foundation's site #been going through some shit and anne carson gets it #i wish i had my euripides books because she did some of the translations

broke: aristophanes didn’t include sophocles in the frogs because sophocles was still alive when he was writing it and didn’t die until too close to the time of the performance to be included in a major role

woke: aristophanes didn’t include sophocles in the frogs because he would’ve just won, no contest

#sophocles was indeed much more popular during his lifetime than euripides #nobody disliked his work the way they did euripides’#but I get the sense that euripides was still more to dionysus’ tastes #ie I think dionysus in the frogs has what the athenian audience might call ‘bad taste’#frogsblogging #mine

Having to explain to my bf that while, yes, by modern standards I am mostly researching dead white dudes, during their time the idea of whiteness as a race thing didn’t exist, so it’s limiting to call them that, but also yes they are part of this racist idea of The West and stuff, but also there’s nuance, and then I realize I’ve completely lost him

#classics #tagamemnon #he called Euripides some ‘old rich white dude’ and it’s like yes but also no #If anyone has any good book/paper recs for this kind of thing pls send them my way it’s very interesting and I know nothing about it

It’s been a hot second since I’ve read Euripides’ Medea so bear with me, but to all the people comparing Medea to Alicent, thanks I am going feral.

Anyway, here is a ramble:

(Spoilers for HOTD/Fire and Blood and I guess also Medea)

It’s the fact that Alicent’s Medea by accident. It’s the fact that she’s putting the dagger to her children’s throats, however unwillingly (however unknowingly).

All to get back at Jason, but who is Jason?

Is Jason Viserys?

Is Jason the political hierarchy/patriarchy/duty?

Is Jason Rhaenyra?

The things that she agreed to support (and love) above even her own family. The things that she believed should protect and stay true to her and end up betraying her.

Jason who cannot see from Medea’s perspective and cannot understand how Medea sees what he is doing as a betrayal.

How Medea may be pitied, but no one wants her to act out. No one wants her to resist like she has been. That Jason and Creon see her pain and hurt as unreasonable.

It is all so Alicent.

The way that Medea is a foreigner with no allies save Aegeus in the same way that Alicent is friendless in King’s Landing for so long.

The way that Medea cannot go home after marrying Jason, and Alicent cannot go home after marrying Viserys because that is how her marriage works. But also Medea, fearing the wrath of a father. Alicent, being partially the reason her own father is not at her side.

It’s the fact that those who know how the Dance ends know that Alicent will fail to be Medea.

Because Medea may not have been half-god, but she had the blood of gods and that allowed her to flee from Jason’s grasp, however much of her still remained after she murdered her children, on a chariot pulled by dragons. That’s not possible for Alicent who will become the Queen in Chains.

Medea’s ending feels very Targaryen, but as Alicent accepts when she dons that green dress, she will never be a Targaryen.

#I lean on collapsing Viserys and Rhaenyra into Jason's role #Larys Strong is Aegeus #But Aegeus does not represent safe harbor #not here #Just another way that this is a warped version of medea #Because Alicent's tragedy is she will fail to be Medea #because where Medea can dare to call what she did victory #can call it vengeance against Jason #I doubt Alicent could say the same #btw #medea #euripides #i am insane #fic notes #house of the dragon #hotd #alicent hightower #i am so scared #house of the dragon spoilers

These lyric changes hate me personally

#how do I make it make sense?#who knows #however if anyone has suggestions I would appreciate them #current problem lyrics are Grace calling Persephone ‘P’#what letter should imogen use for otohan?#and also the entire ‘it’s hazy‚ hades‚ so you’re his lady?’ line #for the line before that one I had changed all the hades stuff to the raven queen #so something along those lines? or something else relevant to otohan that could bring up bad memories (eg apex war stuff)#also I’ve decided that Euripides is a scholar who documented the entirety of the apex war so i don’t have to change that

Why does tragedy exist? Because you are full of rage. Why are you full of rage? Because you are full of grief […] Grief and rage — you need to contain that, to put a frame around it, where it can play itself out without you or your kin having to die […] Do you want to go down to the pits of yourself all alone? Not much. What if an actor could do it for you? Isn’t that why they are called actors? They act for you […] The actor, by reiterating you, sacrifices a moment of his own life in order to give you a story of yours.

- Anne Carson: Preface to Grief Lessons: Four Plays by Euripides
