The Bacchae and Other Plays by EuripidesMy rating: 0 of 5 stars
Some personal notes for each play, since Goodreads doesn't give me enough space under "Private notes". Definite Spoilers, if that matters for you here:
Ion
Nice play, with a happy ending. I liked it.
The Women of Troy
Well this was the complete opposite. It describes the fate of the various women of Troy. None of them is a good one.
Helen
So apparently the Helen in Troy was a hologram or a ghost or something. So they all killed each other over nothing. I guess this could be an allegory to the futility of war. Regardless, maybe my antipathy for Helen is too hardly engrained (or I'm on Team Troy) but I found myself not really rooting for her or Menelaus.
Bacchae
Man, these Gods are mean
