#oresteia — Public Fediverse posts

Thinking about the #AmericanExperiment and #WesternCivilization.

It's produced some wonders. (See below.)
And horrors and brutality beyond measure.
The #USA was meant to be progressing to a #MorePerfectUnion.

The #Marketing of #Spectacle by the #CorporateMedia has something entirely different to a more perfect union being cemented today.

To what extent has the good stuff functioned to distract from the basic brutality of our civilzation?

#MastodonHasStopped and thereby saved a post with an image of a Trojan Horse from the following reply:

How about barely associable?
I specialise in that.

That horse statue reminds me of the importance given to grief and revenge in #Aeschylus' tragedies, the #Oresteia.

I'm going to re-state #SimonCritchley's important work as being how the proto-Modernist project of separating off emotions from what is considered the proper understanding of reality goes back at least to #Socrates.

Lueskelin kirjastossa Edwin Linkomiehen Aiskhyloksen #Oresteia'n suomennokseen kirjoittaman esipuheen. Kylläpä kirjoitti juohevasti etenevää #asiaproosa'a, oikein sydäntä lämmitti.

Oresteia tuli nyt lukulistalle, vaikka Linkomieskin moitteena huomauttaa Elina Vaaran suomennoksen tehdyn vain Emil Zilliacuksen ruotsinnoksesta. #kotijuttuja #kirjallisuus #klassikot #aiskhylos
