Hello and welcome back to Chronicles, where today we're going to be discussing the

Humanities by Esculus, not Esculculus, as I was saying it previously.

And joining me for wrapping up this grand trilogy of Agamemnon, the Libation Bearers, and

now the Amenides is Brother Stelios.

Thank you, Brother Luca, and thank you everyone.

We're going to have a great discussion today. Thank you for inviting me back. And I will say that this is hands down my favorite part of the Trilogy.

Same. And it's probably my favorite play by Esculis. Maybe this and Prometheus bound. I oscillate between the two of them. But this is really good. This is where we

sort of see the climax of the Arrestia, because you can say that relative to the humanities,

the previous two plays, aren't that impressive. Yeah, I can certainly understand that. And one of the

things that I found was when we were discussing the libation bearers, although it is a very good middle, it's a very good second act, it does retread a lot of the themes and a lot of the moral conflicts that Agamemnon the first play was going through. Whereas this one, you see the actual where Esculus is driving the entire narrative.

The payoff.

You're getting all of the payoff as to what it was all for, what all the suffering meant in the end.

And what's more as well.

It's a fantastic play because it's finally in the third act we bring in

some of the actual gobs as characters. And they get speeches and they get, and well, they're

the most important characters within the entire play. And so it's wonderful to see Athena and Apollo laying down the law and yeah

and yeah no other element yeah absolutely so it's it's great fun before we start talking about the third play

should we just begin by talking about recapping what briefly happened in Parts 1 and Parts 2.

Sounds like a great idea.

Okay, so in Part 1, which I'm sure you've watched by now, Agamemnon returns home from the Trojan War, 10 years at war,

and is confronted by his wife, Clytemnestra. And she basically, the entire play is just him arriving home and her murdering him

in his own house, in Argos, in his own bath, for sacrificing their daughter, Iphigenia,
