Document Summary

No matter what you choose you will get burnt, but yet you have to choose. Or should he not: zeus is commanding agamemnon to take revenge for paris"s behavior - for breaking the law of hospitality, paris" decision triggers agamemnon"s decision and then clytemnestra"s, and then. Clytemnestra didn"t care whose daughter agamemnon had killed, as long as it wasn"t hers. So she didn"t care about other mothers that may have lost their children. If she did - she wouldn"t have sent electra to slavery. Maybe she did that to stir it all up and have this anti-agamemnon drive in argos. She also got mad that her husband committed adultery, but then she did it too. So as long as someone else did it, it"s bad. But when she does it - it goes unnoticed. Oracle is a message, a person or a poet or a priest, artist, philosopher can be an oracle.
