- Clytemnestra confronts the chorus of old men in MacMillan Films 2014 production of the Oresteia. In this scene from Agamemnon - the first of the three plays in the trilogy - Clytemnestra has just emerged on the Ekkyklema with blood fresh on her from her murder of Agamemnon. Clytemnestra reminds the chorus that Agamemnon sacrificed their daughter Iphigenia - that it is their daughter who will greet Agamemnon in the afterlife. Aegisthus then joins Clytemnestra to gloat and seize power. More information at www.MacMillanFilms.com.
The staging features Peter Arnott's vivid line-by-line translation and the acting talents of Tanya Rodina, Morgan Marcum, Elena Shiskina, Olya Gubanova, Georgia Kate Haege, Kelly Addyman and James Thomas.
Clytemnestra: "He stopped being my husband the minute he let them kill my daughter."
What good voice talent.
This reminds me of Video Games Cinematics. I thought the Orestia are a tragedy. Now It look great as a comedy as well.
Yes, tragedy to the Greeks meant serious subject matter - not a sad ending. The Oresteia ends triumphantly with Orestes exonerated and a triumphant procession to honor Athens.
@@jamesthomas4501 I heard a different definition. Tragedy, of course, is serious. Yet, it also required another element, a dilema where nothing can be solved (satisfaction to all). Regarding the ending, Agamemnon ended with a tyrant dead and city in tyranny. Libation Bearers with a matricide and a hero with madness. Kindly Ones where a murderer goes free and the ancient powers be bribed. I am excited to see how they made a comedy out of this.
Clytemnestra is the most misunderstood character and her death made me sad.
Agamemnon is the most selfish character so hail Clytemnestra for ridding the world of this curse.
Paris is the most vain character yet his death made me sad.
Cassandra is the most misfortunate character, her only fault was to be at the wrong place at the wrong time.
Menelaus is the most vengeful character but he didn't kill Helen did he? It proves the kind of guy this dude really is, he is praised and called worthy, but I, Saeed of India, have seen what he really is, only 4 millenia a little late:
Failed from Huberus, O! Menelaus, is this the character of worthy honorable man? Proveth thou now, how thou took Helen on that fateful day in Sparta, by thy brother's wealth and none thy own,
Thou took Helen, thou earneth her not, O! unworthy Menelaus,
got a gift worthy for Paris had he been in Sparta and not in Troy,
got a gift worthy for Hector had he been not married to Andromache,
got a gift worthy for noble Achilles had he been rich and not poor,
got a gift worthy for Rameses had he been not married to honorable Nefertari,
got a gift worthy for courageous Ajax had he stood against thy brother,
got a gift worthy for any other but thee, beauteous Helen, deserveth another she,
Thy lust for honor had brave Trojans and Greeks alike sent to Hades, yet thy lust didn't die.
Thy vengeance got Troy burned yet thy vengeance didn't die.
Thy anger on Helen was great enough to kill so many yet thy Helen didn't die.
A look at her Charis and thy Huberus rose to sky.
Yet after the betrayal so great, thy niece Iphigenia died, thy Huberus didn't die.
That innocent flower Iphigenia died, thy Huberus didn't die.
Be cursed O! Menelaus but not be cursed more than thy brother, for no honorable man shall make a city die.
Be cursed O! Menelaus but not be cursed more than thy brother, for no honorable man shall make a war to let people die.
Be cursed O! Menelaus but not be cursed more than thy brother, for no honorable man shall make the civilia die.
that was good.
