    I figured out what happened to Cassandra’s soul after her death. She was barred from going to the afterlife, due to a simple rejection she made against Apollo’s advance on her, and as a result, rather than fading away from existence entirely, her soul was trapped within a sarcophagus, with her mouth sewed up tightly, making it impossible to speak out any prophecy that no one would ever believe her about. But this was no punishment for her by the gods for her defiance from earlier, but to make sure she doesn’t tell any other souls in the Underworld that the gods had actually orchestrated the Trojan War in order to eliminate overpopulation, which was a biggest threat to their rule, as well as the fact that they don’t know what to do with her. Later on, after Ares defeated the rest of the Olympians and exiled them from meddling in mortal affairs, he decided to stay behind to release Cassandra’s soul from her imprisonment, giving her back her ability of persuasion, in exchange for having her reincarnate in Ancient Egypt, where she’ll be believed by everyone there unlike those in either Greek or Troy. Cassandra accepted the offer and traveled to Egypt, while Ares had rejoined the Gods. An okay ending for a discredited prophetess.

    The fact that Apollon held no past anger of Oresteia because he is Greek is surprising. Cause he fought on the side of the Trojans. Most Gods tend to hold onto their grudges.

      It's because Orestes killed Neoptolemus, the son of Achilles. And we know how the god hated that guy
      Just for record: Achilles killed Tennes and Troilus, both were sons of Apollo

    Could Shakespeare have inspired by this story when he wrote "Hamlet"? (He could have also used the blood on the hands when he wrote "Macbeth".)

      Hamlet was actually inspired by a legend from Northern Europe.

      I heard that Hamlet was inspired by a viking story about a warrior named Amleth. You know the guy that the movie The Northman was about. Take the H in Amleth and move it in front.

    Despite the fact that he killed his own mother, his reason for revenge is valid.

    How do you view the Erinyes or furies? Are they in their head like a bad trip or spirits or like 3 mean chicks following you around everywhere, yelling and throwing stuff? Imagine trying to take a dump and having to deal with that non stop. That'd be terrible.

    I with these came with a bibliography. Like which literary source(s) are these stories being drawn from.

      @SeeUinHistory  8 місяців тому +1

      This is from The Oresteia, from Aeschylus 😉

      @@SeeUinHistory right. But some of the vids are from mixed sources. Which is great but it would neat to see which primary source(s) is being used for each narrative.

    In the modern world, those who consider them only as myths and legends, discounting it's validity, it's really those that need to acknowledge that there are many powers and principalies of darkness that have been in this world before time began. The GOD OF ALL GODS, CREATOR OF HEAVEN AND EARTH, WHO SENT HIS ONLY SON, IS NOT A MYTH OR LEGEND. IT WOULD BEHOOVE THEM TO SEE WHAT IS REALITY.

    People who bicker in the comments about if this revenge was valid or not, don't forget, *y'all commoner, you get no say in neither.*
    Valid or not, the Monarchy and their nobles supporter will still send you bloke to your doom, killing other commoner.
    There is no winner here, common peoples suffers.

    Yeah, horrible myth. Murdering your kin is inexcusable. His father Agammemnon sacrificed his other sister alive. He was a horrible man and deserved the fate that befell him. Cursed be the house of Tantalus
