The Libation Bearers by Aeschylus
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This one is really intense, even compared to the first one, "Agamemnon."
[2500-Year Old] Spoiler Alert:
Orestes kills his mother after she begs him not to. His motives are a bit dubious. Does he not know his father killed his sister Iphigenia? Is he actually just mad his mother sent him to live outside of the castle? Is he just a super religious opportunist who has to follow the Oracle or risk life-failure? Maybe all of these things.
