65 From Vengeance to Justice: The Genius of Aeschylus' ORESTEIA w/ Doug Metzger
Doug Metzger, scholar and podcaster with a PhD in literature, brings ancient drama to life. He walks through Aeschylus' Oresteia: the shift from blood feud to civic law. Short, vivid scenes — from Iphigenia's sacrifice to the trial at Athens — reveal how myth becomes a foundation for justice and democracy.
