Die Orestie: Agamemnon (eBook, ePUB)

Die Orestie des Dichters Aischylos ist eine der bedeutenden griechischen Tragödien. Das dreiteilige Stück behandelt das Ende des Fluchs, unter dem das Haus Atreus steht. Geschildert wird die Entwicklung des antiken Rechtsverständnisses vom Prinzip der individuellen Rache hin zu einer geordneten Rechtsprechung durch eine die Gesellschaft repräsentierende Gruppe. Überblick: Agamemnon opferte seine Tochter Iphigenie. Die Mutter von Iphigenie, Klytaimnestra, tötet deshalb ihren Mann Agamemnon nach dessen Rückkehr aus dem Trojanischen Krieg, und ebenso dessen Geliebte Kassandra. Der Sohn Orestes tötet daraufhin seine Mutter Klytaimnestra und deren Geliebten Aigisthos. Orestes - und das ist neu - wird dafür nicht mit dem Tod bestraft; die Rachegeister (Erinyen) können in einem Gerichtsverfahren besänftigt werden. Göttin Athene spricht bei Stimmengleichheit das Urteil (Freispruch). Der Fluch der Familie wird durchbrochen. Aischylos (525 v.Chr./456 v. Chr.) ist vor Sophokles und Euripides der älteste der drei großen griechischen Tragödiendichter. Von seinen sieben erhaltenen Stücken werden vor allem die Perser und die Orestie weltweit gespielt.

Arcadian Nights: The Greek Myths Reimagined , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 662min

The vibrant retelling of the central Greek myths by acclaimed novelist John Spurling, author of The Ten Thousand Things, winner of the 2015 Walter Scott Prize for Historical Fiction. The classical Greek intellectual tradition pervades nearly every aspect of our modern Western civilization. Our logic and science, our philosophy, politics, literature, architecture, and art are all indebted to the ancient inhabitants of the small mountainous Mediterranean country. And the powerful myths of the Greeks, refined by Homer, Hesiod, Herodotus, and the great Greek dramatists, still resonate at the core of our culture. Taking as his starting point many of the famous tourist sites in the Peloponnese, where the stories are set, John Spurling freshly imagines key narratives from the Greek canon, including tales of the doomed house of Atreus (notably Agamemnon, leader of the Greeks at Troy, murdered by his wife in his palace bathroom) and of the god Apollo; the goddess Athene; Theseus, scourge of the Minotaur; the Twelve Labors of Heracles; and Perseus, rescuer of Andromeda. In this vibrant, gripping, and often grisly retelling of the Greek myths, stories of murder, power, revenge, love, and traumatic family relationships are made new again for our time with wit and relish by a gifted author. Spurling has added scene, dialogue, and context while always staying true to the spirit of the original myth. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: John Lee.
