That being said, these plays are an interesting study. Not just theatre history, but history of misogyny, is on display in this collection. Most of the plays center around the aftermath of the Trojan war, the struggles of Orestes and Electra, as well as Iphegenia, in which every single nasty thing that happens is blamed on a woman (except for the nasty things that are blamed on Apollo, but overall, it's basically women making men do awful things). The presentation of the plays also has some lack to it, since it would make it more interesting to present Orestes before Iphegenia in Tauris, since the prior presentation of the latter play meant you knew the ending of Orestes at the beginning. Overall, a marginally satisfactory read, but I would prefer a somewhat more...Greek...translation. ( )
