you keep making that sound and it’s not musical, or a question for gaius cassius longinus part II: what kind of story do you think you're in? the shakespeare’s JC+greek tragedy/cassius reprising his role as an oracle edition

- michael kinnucan, the gods show up

cassius as a 'great observer,' john w. velz / the cassandra scene in aeschylus' / agamemnon, seth l. schein / greek tragedy and society: a structuralist perspective, charles segal / rsc’s 2017 JC production / hbo rome

bonus round: writing biography in greece and rome: narrative technique and ficitonalization, edited by koen de temmerman and kristoffel demoen / pouring the wrong wax in the literary mold: plutarch's marius and homer's odyssey, michael nerdahl / plutarch's late republican lives: between the lines tw hillard / the origins of roman drama and greek tragedy, o. szemerényi / fate and freedom in greek tragedy, walter r. agard

an even more niche bonus round:

-hippocratic medicine and greek tragedy (greek medicine from hippocrates to galen)

#shakespeare's julius caesar #gaius cassius longinus #roman republic tag #comparatives tag #i am Very Very slowly working my way up to those antony-cassius parallels rattling around in my head #i want to get my hands on that 196whatever c/eopatra movie before i do it though #@ all the people who have the dvd's checked out across every branch of my library system checked out AND the 52 people #who have it on hold: i absolutely understand but also PLEASEEEE #okay! yellow highlights are cassius as a great observer #green is the cassandra scene #that funky blue grey highlight is greek tragedy and society #every time i think about late republic media adaptions that aren't shakespeare's JC im just /deep sigh/#conspiracy centric show WHEN #i might make it myself. i'll focus in on cassius cram in all the thoughts i have about unplutarching brutus and call it #life of cassius or something like that #or i'll finally just admit that i want to do a comics adaption of shakespeare myself #anyway you might be wondering 'hey tristan why the hell do you have so many bonus round citations.'#and it's just ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ my brain grabs hold of something and Keeps Going even though I am saying 'what a great place to stop :)'#and eventually it ends up somewhere like: medical texts and greek tragedy when originally it started off as cassius + eyesight + cassandra
