In this episode we look at Aeschylus’s The Suppliants. Not the one written by Euripides. We’ll get to his later. We’re still working our way through Aeschylus right now.
Discussion Prompts
- What is your take on this play?
- How feminist is it?
- How should it be treated and performed on the stage today?
- It’s difficult not to think about this play in light of #metoo; should that be considered when determining how this play is staged?
- What thoughts did you have as you read that I may not have included in this lecture?
Please share your thoughts in the comments.
