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????
