TFW your GrubHub driver may be fleeing the Furies of his slain mother, but you're really hungry, so you're willing to let it slide.

thinking about the parallels between the famous “I can take care of myself just fine.” // “No.” and these greek play quotes:

“I’ll take care of you.” // “It’s rotten work.” // “Not to me. Not if it’s you.” [Pylades and Orestes, Orestes, Anne Carson’s translation.]

“I fear to stain your clothes with blood.” // “Stain them. I don’t care.” [Theseus and Herakles, Grief Lessons: Four Plays by Euripides, Anne Carson]

“Let go of me.” // “Never.” [Eurydice and Orpheus, either from Eurydice by Sarah Ruhl, or Orpheus & Eurydice: A Verse Drama by Edward Eaton.]

like do Neil and Todd even know the tragedies they’re echoing????

i support clytemnestra killing agamemnon and i also support orestes/electra killing clytemnestra. yes those things can and do coexist.
