Brilliant, Harry, as usual.

You capture the particular power of Aeschylus' language and imagery well. The language conflates the actual and the metaphorical: the conflagration of Troy makes it way through signal-fires back to Argos; Agamemnon walks on a blood-red carpet into his bloody bath; Agamemnon rejoices in having thrown a net over Troy, and Clytemnestra throws a net over him before killing him in his bath.

It's a hard read in Greek, too.

But the confusion about cause and responsibility and blame for wrongs done and suffered has lived with me for decades since I first read it. I haven't had the pleasure of teaching it in quite a while, but it's high time for me to go back and read it again. Thanks for the push!
