Nah, Helen is important if only for the recontextualizing of Helen, from home wrecker who carelessly started the war to innocent victim of the gods or more accurately victim of fate since it is all destined. It is a key part of Euripides and what his main themes were as regards fate and the gods messing around with humans and starting wars and strife as well as his ideas of gender roles, usually taking female characters traditionally seen as evil like Helen or Medea and showing their side of the story so to speak.

Non-key Euripides plays are the satyr one along with Rhesus and Ion and other minor ones like that. Hippolytus too.

Erik the red’s Vinland saga is interesting and I have been meaning to get to it. I heard he includes references to other outlandish claims like one-legged men who hop around and shade themseves with their feet (possibly some native practice for survivors of tribal warfare who lost their leg??? Idk).

Aeschylus may be the most difficult of the playwrights to read since he is the first and his style is far more primitive than in later writers. Sophocles and Euripides both diminished the importance of the chorus whereas Aeschylus makes heavy use of it- far more prominence is given to the chorus and just as well, many ideas are more directly communicated in the chorus rather than merely commenting on what is going on around them as in Sophocles for example.

It’s regarded as a plebeian opinion to hold but Aeschylus is my least favorite of the playwrights though this is entirely on my end- I admit that his antiquated style merely doesn’t do much for me. The problem with my enjoyment is I don’t like how he relies on the chorus so heavily and the actual actions of the play end up being a bit drab as in Prometheus Bound where it’s pretty much just Prometheus chained to a rock the entire time, entirely static scene with little going on.

His actual philosophy is garbage but I enjoyed his autobiographical descriptions of leaving behind devout Catholic scholasticism found in discourse on method and I think rules for direction of the mind is an awesome text on how to approach logic. He is a multifaceted guy mainly known for Meditations which is quite sad as that is full of spurious leaps of logic.

Russia IS a US vassal itself though not an overt one like the west euros. Russia is a capitalist country which still relies on trade with the US and US allied countries to survive even if it is sanctioned to hell.

Any country which isn’t outright at war with the US like DPRK or blockaded entirely like Cuba is a vassal in some way because US power is so great. No, BRICS are not independent nations. Brazil even hosted US bases for a while.

That’s Euripides’ divine play Helen. He typically tended to have similar themes in each plays. Noticeably, he shows misogyny as wrong and it is shown when the REAL Helen, the woman loved by Paris is in Egypt and the slutty one who joined Paris and ruined the good name of womankind was merely a phantom created by the gods to trick them. Also that play has a bit of a Malthusian bent which is cool. The gods did all this and created this war simply to kill off the excess demographics because the populace is way too large. This section I felt prefigures Malthusianism by like 2,000 years

The sets, names, etc are obvious like that because the film is an homage to a playwright named Bertolt Brecht. Read Morher courage and her children and Threepenny opera in particular and you’ll see a lot of thematic similarities

Can someone explain to me why this new game is a big deal? who's Edwin? why did he make the mimic? Is this just a book-only lore thing or what?
