Roman Tragedy II: Seneca’s Agamemnon, or He’ll Enter Eventually

Posted byTriumvir ClioPosted inRoman Tragedy, The Romans

We finally get around to covering Seneca’s Agamemnon in today’s episode.

Discussion Prompts
  1. I know I’ve asked this before, but how old is Orestes?!?
  2. What is the purpose of Pylades entering with Stropius?
  3. Do you think this work was written for performance? Why or why not?
  4. The usual directing questions: Vision? Setting? Dream cast?
  5. Compare/contrast Cassandra and Clytemnestra. Or Cassandra and Electra.

I have a BA in History and Classical Civilization from Loyola University Chicago and an MPH from Western Michigan University. I've been a geometry teacher, a religion teacher, a writing tutor. I'm a writer, a knitter, a dancer, a singer, an actor. And, yes, for fun I like to reread everything that was assigned while getting my classics degree.
