Pelops and his ivory shoulder

#Got house of Atreus on the brain disease 😔😔 again 😔😔 #Idk if I’m a huge fan of the way the ivory turned out #And I can’t remember if I made up the thing of shoulder actually meaning like upper arm #But anyways the lower arm is kinda meant to look like the marbling on Lydian pottery?? Since tantalus is sometimes king of Lydia?? #There’s various house of Atreus shit happening #Horses bc him and Poseidon were 🤨🤨 lovers??🤨🤨🤨 #greek myth #My art #the house of atreus #pelops #greek mythology art #The scarring around his arm really giving winter soldier #greek mythology

I just wanna know if Agamemnon was ever a little boy and if he was so excited to become a big brother and if he made fun of Menelaus for being a ginger but beat up all kind of other kids for doing the same thing.

Hello citizens of tumblr dot com, I’m nervous about of promoting my own creative work but I have to try so here goes:

I’m deeply fascinated by and obsessed with The Oresteia and the House of Atreus, and in adaptation as an art form that builds conversations between artists that transcend space and time. So, I’m writing a story about it.

If you like modern adaptations of classical literature, Greek theatre, stories that explore form and genre, families that are A Problem, horror adjacent things, interesting illustrations, terrible complex people, and/or stories that keep going for a really long time then you can read it for free on my website.

If you don’t like any of those things, you can still read it for free on my website, I won’t stop you.

I will be posting about it on @thehousestory This is the prologue. New chapter and illustration every Monday.

I think the ideal Orestia retelling is one where everyone is lying out their ass. Agamemnon is lying, Clytemnestra is lying, Iphigenia is lying, Elektra is lying, Orestes is lying, Chrysothemis is lying.

There is not a single ounce of truth, it's liars all the way down

Second Chance Quarterfinals

The Ushiromiya family (Umineko When They Cry) VS The House of Atreus (Greek Mythology)

The Ushiromiya family

Members: Kinzo, Krauss, Eva, Rudolf, Rosa, Jessica, George, Battler, Ange, Maria, Natsuhi, Hideyoshi, Asumu, Kyrie

Propaganda:

"PEAK weird family drama. Fighting over the inheritance leads to multiple people dying in gruesome ways" "The whole plot of the game is that they all are so dysfunctional it would make sense for any of them to commit murder" "This family is dysfunctional and abusive on every levels. The parents are fighting for the inheritance, because the elder embezzled money. The grandfather, Kinzo, hides in his room and never shows up. Not unusual, he neglected his family his whole life. Seems that he preferred a mysterious mistress than his family. When he talked to his children, it was to scold them for being incompetents. The atmosphere is oppressive. The children of Kinzo were bully. Krauss bullied Eva, who bullied Rosa. Concerning the next generation: Battler is in conflict with his father because he cheated on his mother. Natsuhi is putting pressure on Jessica for her to become the heir of the family, and is losing contact with her daughter. Eva has deciced what the life of Georges is becoming, and that he will not marry a servant. As for the relationship between Rosa and Maria, this is just the best mother-daughter love-hate relationship ever. And everything ends in blood, for ever and ever." More propaganda here

The House of Atreus

Members: Tantalus, Pelops, Hippodamia, Atreus, Thyestes, Aerobe, Chryssipus, Pelopia, Aegisthus, Agamemnon, Menelaus, Clytemnestra, Helen, Iphigenia, Orestes, Elektra, Chrysothemis

Propaganda:

"The copious amounts of murder, incest, and cannibalism" More propaganda here

Me: *finds out Ares is a part of the house of Atreus via Atreus's mother and therefore directly related to Agamemnon*

Ares and Agamemnon are related?! Seriously?!

No wonder Agamemnon had the audacity to challenge the priest of Apollo, Apollo and Achilles, his strongest warrior, in the Iliad!

Man's got that unadulterated Ares audacity coursing through his veins!

Don’t you know?

The house of Atreus is haunted. The house is the ghost, the corpse, the cauldron full of food. Pick up the fork, the axe, the libation, kill your son/daughter/husband/mother, end the story and close the doors- burn the house with the house still inside. The girl picks herself up off the rock and walks home. Don’t you know? The house of Atreus is haunted.

They clasp their hands in agreement- the affair, the siblings, the house and the story. Co-conspirators all, agreeing to pen it to paper. How long did the shoulder roast, the woman-king weave, the sister weep. How could this time be spent without some of it

S e e p i n g into the packed earth

The ground was red before the scarlet tapestries were laid out in unison; the story told before it was played out. Are we not gods flipping the chapters of time? Asking ourselves what we’d murder for a bit of interest. Salivating slurring and spurring onwards that untouchable gory horror, the home of those ancient Achaeans.

Didn’t you know? The house of Atreus is haunted.

"Agamemnon: A Transcendent Odyssey of Power, Betrayal, and Divine Retribution"

Agamemnon, a timeless Greek tragedy by Aeschylus, unfolds with an unrelenting force that resonates through the ages. In this remarkable translation by Gilbert Murray, the tale of power, betrayal, and divine retribution takes on a new life, capturing the essence of the ancient Greek world with linguistic brilliance.

Murray's translation, known for its poetic fluidity and faithfulness to the original, breathes vitality into the characters and events of Agamemnon. The play opens with the triumphant return of Agamemnon, King of Argos, from the Trojan War, yet it is tinged with an ominous foreboding. The audience is thrust into a world of political intrigue, vengeful gods, and the inexorable consequences of human choices.

The language is both commanding and evocative, drawing readers into the psychological depths of characters like Clytemnestra, whose simmering resentment and thirst for revenge give the narrative its dark and tragic undertones. The play navigates the complex interplay of fate and free will, exploring the consequences of Agamemnon's decisions and the inevitable clash between mortal desires and divine will.

Murray's translation skillfully preserves the rhythmic cadence of Aeschylus' original work, allowing modern readers to experience the emotional intensity of the Greek chorus and the poignant soliloquies that punctuate the unfolding drama. The vivid imagery and symbolic language employed by Aeschylus are rendered with precision, making the text accessible without sacrificing its profound layers of meaning.

"Agamemnon: A Transcendent Odyssey of Power, Betrayal, and Divine Retribution" serves as a captivating gateway into the world of classical Greek tragedy. Aeschylus' exploration of human nature, morality, and the consequences of hubris feels as relevant today as it did in ancient times. Gilbert Murray's masterful translation ensures that the enduring power of Agamemnon continues to captivate and provoke contemplation in the hearts and minds of readers across generations.

Aeschylus's Agamemnon Translated by Gilbert Murray is available in Amazon in paperback 10.99$ and hardcover 18.99$ editions.
