modernmollie:I’ve discovered my research paper! Connections between these two fascinating women of Greek Tragedy: Hecuba and Clytemnestra. Both suffered loss, both committed murder, and both were punished for their crimes. And they are so connected to one another! Agamemnon takes Hecuba’s daughter, Cassandra; Hecuba murders Polymestor to avenge the murders of her other children; Clytemnestra murders her husband, Agamemnon for murdering their daughter and then murders Cassandra. It’s all such a nasty, vicious circle! Power, vengeance, betrayal…AH! I’m so excited! -- source link
