Close reading (in Greek) of Aeschylus' Agamemnon, with due attention paid to issues of interpretation, poetic style, meter, performance, and cultural context. We'll also read the rest of the Oresteia in English, and sample some "sequels" and later adaptations.  Students should previously have taken at least Greek 100 or 101, or equivalent.
