Oresteia MITEM
Why does The Oresteia continue to exert such a tremendous attraction? One answer might be our need for a deeper relationship with Myth. The myth of The Oresteia is dangerous, belonging to the world of the strange and unknown, arousing terror because it reveals the intractable, the violent, and the deepest laws that cannot be tamed.
