Welcome to Litsy!

Electra by Euripides is his version of the second part of Aeschylus‘s Oresteia. This not something I would read for leisure, it‘s not a fun read, and it‘s a slow burner. Just interesting to see Euripides‘s version of Electra.

This is not a leisurely read, it‘s alarming, bloody, angry and very anti-women. Orestes by Euripides is hardly produced for the stage today but worth a read if, like me, you‘re trying to put all the pieces together that makes mythology.

Always appreciate the opportunity to see Shakespeare live. This play is a favorite!

This script is as good as its buzz. What a good play.
