i'll always be trash for greek tragedy or anything ancient greek tbh. Now i'm excited to re-read Antigone.
Update: I'm not even mad that I had to read it again three months after the first time.

My jaw is dropped at how amazing this play was. No wonder Aristotle considered this THE tragedy.

Let me admit rightaway - The mediocre rating is because while I could comprehend the proceedings of the play, I couldn't relate to the emotions of it all. You get the essence that it's something grand but still curse yourself for not being able to appreciate it.
Nevertheless, a great read! Especially the catharsis that comes towards the end.

This along with Antigone was quite funny. I think I probably enjoyed this one more than Antigone but both were fantastic!
מזל שלמדתי את המחזה בתוך התוכן של שיעור תיאטרון, כי לקרוא אותו לבד בצורה הזאת לא היה כיף.
The Sophoclean irony pervades, the symbolism of blindness, the intricate themes and language were completely fascinating to analyse. Will definitely be re-reading this.
