I love Agamemnon. I don't know if it's because I read it in high school, so it has a special place in my heart, but I really just love Agamemnon.

I really enjoyed this trilogy though that one section of Apollo going on about fathers being more important and mothers basically being nothing was...something!! (then again would else could I have expected from ancient times). Otherwise I truly enjoyed seeing the early workings of the justice system and courts that we still practice today as well as the plot itself.

[آیسخولوس آگاممنون] [۹ از ۱۰] [شاهکار. عاشقشم. کاساندرا برام یه نماد شگفت‌انگیزه که نظیر نداره.]
[آیسخولوس نیازآوران] [۷ از ۱۰] [به نسبت آگاممنون حوصله‌ سر بره و از اون لحظه‌های جادویی خبری نیست. اطناب زیادی داره و اونجوری که با ید و شاید به دلم ننشست.]
[آیسخولوس الاهگان انتقام] [۶ از ۱۰] [حتی حضور آپولو و آتنا هم قسمت آخر تریولوژی اورستیا رو برای من نجات نداد. ولی با این حال این سه‌گانه صد در صد ارزش خوندن داره و عالیه.]

I want to like this so badly because of its historical value to both literature and theater but I just can't do it. I tried, I really did but I am so bored that I have to stop halfway through.
