A review by sicaurigus
Ajax by Sophocles
4.0
Ajax is such a drama queen! And Teucer isn't much better. Odysseus is awesome as always, Agamemnon and Menelaus weren't as insufferable as usual, and the Chorus Leader is a new favorite of mine. Oh, and Tecmessa was so annoying.
Best exchange:
Teucer: "O my dear brother Ajax, have you come / to grief, as this strong rumor says you have?"
Chorus Leader: "He is dead, Teucer. Know the simple truth."
T: "Then my ill luck is bearing heavily down!"
CL: "It is true."
T: "Ah, I am miserable!"
CL: "You may well groan."
T: "So rash and calamitous!"
CL: "Yes, Teucer."
I can FEEL the Chorus Leader rolling his eyes. It's great.
