dabbe @TheBookHippie I don't know why, but I always thought of Gertrude in that way. Maybe because even her son lusts after her and basically calls her a whore? 🤣 2d

TheSpineView @dabbe It's hard to relate to teenagers. 1w

Classical Tragedy, Greek and Roman: 8 Plays in Authoritative Modern Translations Accompanied by Critical Essays | Robert Willoughby Corrigan

pick

It is done! Or at least as done as it's going to be from me. I picked up this collection for Euripedes' Medea, was happy to get Sophocles' Antigone in the bargain, and a bonus second Medea by Seneca. Euripides' Bakkhai is a wild time, The Oresteia is pretty familiar ground given the link up to Illiad characters. I wish there was more of Aeschylus' Prometheus Bound, but what there is extant of it is good. 1/?

Robotswithpersonality 2/? I did Sophocles ' Oedipus the King, and didn't feel in the mood to do Seneca's Oedipus later. I did give the associated essays a try, but they focused more on the plays/play mechanics/playwrights than the stories/myths behind the plays, which are more my interest. Will definitely be seeking more scholarship on Greek myth, (only took 17 years after the Greek and Roman studies degree for me to recover my desire to do research on that topic) 1mo

Robotswithpersonality 3/? especially through a modern feminist lens. Antigone and Medea's stories stand out because they exhibit female agency (Clytaemnestra's in The Oresteia is pretty short-lived 😬), and Medea in particular because she 'gets away with it'. Major themes (don't fuck with the gods, expect your family lineage's curse to haunt you in some way, nothing could be more heinous than killing family - except perhaps sleeping with them 🤢) exist throughout. 1mo

Robotswithpersonality 4/4 Medea makes for an interesting case because one seems to trump the other - her divine lineage is part of what makes it possible for her to kill and survive - for once no mention of the Furies...will definitely be looking up further modern retellings of her story. Don't get me started on Jason. 🙄

Ah, yes, because knowing he's the arbiter of his eternal torment is definitely the way to get Prometheus to see Zeus in a more favourable light. 🫣

Hamlet | William Shakespeare

I saw part of the 1948 Olivier Hamlet last night, and it gave me the urge to reread this. It's been a few years, but it's one of my favorite Shakespearean plays. Nothing like a reread of an old favorite on a cold winter's night!

#Shakespeare #Literature #Hamlet

TheBookHippie My son is reading this in English currently. Had to dig mine out! 2mo

GingerAntics 🧡🧡🧡 This is a fav of mine as well 2mo

TiredLibrarian @TheBookHippie I first read it in HS too, and I liked it but didn't love it. I think I needed some more life experience to appreciate it. Funny how books can hit you differently depending on where you are in life when you read them! 2mo

TiredLibrarian @GingerAntics Glad you love it too! ❤️ 2mo

TheBookHippie @TiredLibrarian oh I feel that way about so many books! 2mo

GingerAntics @TiredLibrarian I have some rather unconventional ideas about this play. You have no idea… and they all stem from the “choose your own adventure” version of it. lol 2mo

TiredLibrarian @GingerAntics I'm intrigued! 2mo

GingerAntics @TiredLibrarian by the choose your own adventure version of Hamlet or my crazy musings? lol 2mo
