Agamemnon by Aeschylus | Summary & Analysis

[@alexkanga9131]

Not only is the entire play summed up in less then 10 minutes, they provide symbols, description of the characters, and themes as well. They answered every question on my study guide! Not all heroes wear capes!

[@aeschylus1995]

yep, I wrote that

[@johnhogan8327]

Nice 👍

[@lashantacurry5978]

No you didn't stop that. I prefer the version of your crushing the internet for content that pertains to greek culture and claiming ownership of it cause what does anyone on the internet know. Half of the content is altered and recreated stolen ownership and warped material.

[@korinnab.2318]

thanks man, I read the whole thing and didn't retain any of it

[@hydraelectricblue]

I literally don’t know how you did that. If I’m not intensely interested in something I can’t even get through it. Which is why I’m reading this for fun and also why I’m here because I really want to understand it.

[@aesdr]

@@hydraelectricblue I wish, If we don't study this we going fail this is the easiest one to read cuz the other readings are longer.

[@TheSdzfr]

Out of all the characters I hate Agamemnon the most. Clytemnestra's daughter was sacrificed she had a good reason of killing this Cursed guy. Nothing would have gone wrong, Hector and Achilles would have been alive if he never bought Helen of Sparta for his brother Menaleus. As for Paris's bribe by Aphrodite is concerned for the Apple, I think Helen ran with him because she wasn't happy with Menaleus.

[@johnhogan8327]

Yeah he hella sucks, because of the curse and stuff

[@tommyscott8511]

Yeah, Agamemnon killed his daughter when he didn't really need to. Troy wasn't his war. I feel most sorry for Cassandra, a young girl abused by the gods, then abused by men, then finally killed by another woman for something she had no choice in.

[@Blannwich]

Very helpful. I somehow missed precisely why he had sacrificed Iphigenia, and even the history between Thyestes and Atreus went completely over my head

[@hellsyt9037]

Agamemnon offends the goddess Artemis on his way to the Trojan War by accidentally killing one of Artemis' sacred stags. This made Artemis very angry and He threw a storm at Agamemnon's fleet. Agamemnon's fleet ran out of supplies, lost its path. The only way out was the sacrifice of Agamemnon's eldest daughter Iphigenia. And for the history of Thyestes and Atreus, they were brothers. Thyestes was banished from Mycenae by Atreus for the betrayal and conspiracy Thyestes made with assistance of Atreus's wife Aerope. Thyestes even slept with Aerope. As for revenge, Atreus killed Thyestes children and tricked him into eating his own children's cooked flesh. Then Thyestes placed a curse on Atreus's palace.

[@phoebekoeries2029]

Excellent analysis! Thank you Course Hero!

[@ahmedelhadary3447]

Thank you so much I hope that you will discuss the other two parts of the trilogy.

[@foodfrenzi]

Thank you!!!! I have a short essay due on this and this video was amazing!!! everything that I needed in order to gather my thoughts. THANK YOU!!!!

[@Maskedlapis64]

I greatly enjoyed this. Thank you so much for speaking clearly and animatedly. Great quality

[@arejayheix]

A few points of contention: 1. The description of red has more to do with Greek words for color than some symbology. 2. It’s hard to understand why exactly you consider Agamemnon or Clytaemnestra are watchdogs? Watchman is explicitly referenced that way by his own words but the other two do not fill that roll. I could give you Cassandra, but that was not asserted in this video.

[@erickf8347]

If your professor asks about the hamartia, know it's supposed to be when Agamemnon walks on the carpet

[@michaelsimon6470]

thank you so much bro you are a life saver, love the energy too!!

[@PabloEscobar-ns1bw]

Calchas

[@WEBTEAM1000]

Seven months late, but he said Chalchas. Probably a non-recurring role.

[@mareamattalla6826]

Faith Magallanes it is Cassandra

Agamemnon was king of Mycenae, not Argos.

[@Fordo007]

legends switch between Argos and Mycenae from time to time.

[@ellyiiis]

Homer put the palace in Mycenae and another lyric poet, Stesichorus put it in Sparta. Aeschylus put the palace in Argos cause back then, Athens made an alliance with Argos. Aeschylus grew up in the golden era of Athens and he wanted to show that he supports that alliance.

[@reddeadmj2756]

Good guide.
