A review by ethandickler
The Oresteian Trilogy: Agamemnon; The Choephori; The Eumenides by Aeschylus

Zeus, whose will has marked for man

The sole way where wisdom lies;

Ordered one eternal plan:

Man must suffer to be wise.

Head-winds heavy with past ill

Stray his course and cloud his heart;

Sorrow takes the blind soul’s part -

Man grows wise against his will.

For powers who rule from thrones above

By ruthlessness commend their love

Paired well with a glass of cognac and the Peter Hall National Theater production from 1982
