  Aeschylus a veteran of both Persian wars,many times awarded trophies for his plays, designed his own scene props for his plays and choreographed himself the dance. A true legend.

  The watchmen who opens 'Agamemnon' reappears in Shakespeare's 'Hamlet'. It is he who first sees the father's ghost.

  I normally don't listen to unscripted stuff, too many annoying filler sounds. But you two are both such professional public speakers, barely a single "um" to be heard. My compliments to you both on that, you're exceedingly easy on the ears and I love it, thank you.

  What a treat to hear you both come together to talk about this trilogy. I loved Doug’s episode in L&H on this, and Lantern Jack’s deep knowledge of all things ancient Greek.  Thank you!

  Wow thank you guys! &nbsp;A thoughtful well-executed epic video. The ghost of Aeschylus would surely approve of a dialogue of such quality. <br><br>I’m preparing to attend a production of the Oresteia in London in a few weeks and this was perfect for that 👌

  Loved this — thanks so much for doing this.<br>Back in the 1970s, the Indiana University Theatre Department put on the Orestes trilogy. It was scary / spooky / riveting. Have always loved these plays because of the emotional intensity. When I was at Earlham College, I took classical Greek for one year. We read some passages from these plays. Great stuff.<br>Again, thanks.
