CLASSIC 36B Lecture Notes - Lecture 14: Wicket-Keeper, Tyrant, Aegisthus
Document Summary
We hear cry of agamemnon being struck by clytemnaestra. Chorus is not clear with whats going on. Clytemnaestra admits her action and justifies the murder: she admits where she struck them and stuff, he justification mo-es from iphigeneia to her affair with. Aegisthus, saying its okay or like she cheated because of him: she continues, she mo-ed from her own adultery to agamemnon"s adultery, his affair with cassandra, cassandra was a -irgin before she was taken by agamemnon. Ode 4, antistophe 3: the chorus states the problem plainly. If you commit and infraction sooner or later youre going to pay the penalty. Play closes with ageistus coming on to the scene. Aegisthus brings the matter back to the curse and atreus" actions against his father thyestes. He is a coward, he defends his actions by the murder of his borther by. Atreus and the curse that his father called down on the house.
