I'm an author of escapist fiction, part-time mythology blogger, and avid fan of opera and old movies.
@crane_moon_snow Ha, good one! I guess I was thinking more of tragedy, like ... Sophocles' Ajax, or Oedipus. Euripides' Medea. The Bacchae! Aeschylus's Oresteia. Heck, the whole Iliad. Vergil gets a nod for Neoptolemos in the sack of Troy in the Aeneid.

@JSchwartz10a It wasn’t that I hated it, it was more that I’d gone thinking I was going in there to review a production of the Oresteia (by Aeschylus) and it was clearly just a loosely modernized adaptation.
