Oh, the joys and wonders of Greek tragedies... Circular narratives, self-made endings, a story that keeps repeating and rewriting itself through generations and always ending in the same place where it all began...

CHORUS: Woman, be sure your heart is brave; you can take much.
CASSANDRA: None but the unhappy people ever hear such praise.


this took me forever to read i liked it but thought i wouldve benefited from seeing it played out or something... again though it was pretty enjoyable.
