#keep the oresteia away from me please its too much

[hermesmoly]

Clytemnestra loved her firstborn so much there was no space of love left for her remaining children after her death. No space for Electra, no space for Chrysothemis, no space for Orestes.

Electra building contempt and depression living in a house where her father was killed.

Chrysothemis clutching hard to keep the fragile glass of what remains of her family from breaking,

Orestes who was spared, Orestes who his mother wanted dead, Orestes who shoulders the burden of avenging the father he never knew— by killing the mother he never knew.
