Prompt
The story of Agamemnon and his family, familiar to us from Homer’s Odyssey, shows up again
in Aiskhylos’ Agamemnon, Sophokles’ Elektra, and Euripides’ Orestes. Discuss the use these
tragic playwrights make of the Agamemnon story. How does each playwright reimagine the
Agamemnon story while staying faithful to the myth found in Homer? Remember what Marry
Poppins says: “In every job that must be done / there is an element of fun.” What is the job of
each play, and what is the element of fun that each playwright brings to his work?
