A review by strawberrrysam
An Oresteia by Sophocles, Aeschylus, Euripides

fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix

4.0

A solid translation! I’m a huge fan of Carson’s prose, so I of course enjoyed this. And of course it had the biggest gay romance line in it of “not to me. Not if it’s you.” Also
Pylades and Orestes were definitely in love so why were we acting like him marrying Elektra made any sense???


ANYWAYS
I had read Agamemnon before but none of the subsequent plays so it was interesting to see another side to the story because having only read the first story, I was very much on the side of Klytaemestra.
