An Iris Murdoch poem about a “class” on this play teases a three-volume commentary on this play by Eduard Fraenkel. This play is the source of a saying in its original language that “there is no wisdom without pain.” A woman in this play chastises the chorus for believing a herald but not her “victory-howl.” (-5[1])This play’s title (15[1])character inspired Civil War general Ezra Mannon (15[1]-5[2])in The (-5[1])Homecoming, (15[5]-5[2])the first play (-5[1])in a cycle (15[2])by (-5[1])(*) Eugene (-5[1])O’Neill. (10[2]-5[2])This play’s (-5[2])protagonist (10[1]-5[1])is persuaded by his wife to walk on a carpet (10[1])of red (10[1])robes, (10[4])foreshadowing that she will stab (10[1])him (10[1])and his lover Cassandra to death (10[1])in the (10[1])bathtub, (10[1]-5[3])an act (10[1])that drives the plot of this play’s sequel, The Libation Bearers. For 10 points, name (-5[1])this play in which Clytemnestra (10[1])murders the title king of Mycenae, (10[4])the first play of (10[1])Aeschylus’s (-5[1])Oresteia. (10[1])■END■ (10[11]0[7])
