Capitolo 61
monster from the grave, unkillable? She gradually recovers his/her calm,
he/she clearly explains the mistrustful point of the absence of Orestes, and it piles up on
his/her words and it gesticulates of welcome to an almost oriental fullness (what
Agamemnon reproaches, ll. 918 ff., p. 39). Again, at the end, when she finds
what for the time she is sure, its true feelings break out almost.
P. 38.]--what is the motive for the Crimson Tapestries? I think the
to tangle bathrobe is due to be in the tradition as the murder in the bath
certainly it was. One motive, is clearly obvious: Clytemnestra is trying
Agamemnon to sin or "to go too far." He tries to withstand to, but the shine of
a return in oriental house seduces him/it and he produces. But it is that enough to
so strongly gives account of such line of the curious face in the history and one
done emphasize? We am said after that Clytemnestras it threw on his/her victim
a "web without end", long and rich (p. 63), to prevent his/her sight or using
his/her arm. And I cannot help suspecting that this web without end was the same
as the pallium of crimson.
If one tries to conjecture the origin of this curious history, perhaps it is
a sign to understand that the word _droite_ intends a bath and a
sarcophagus, or rather than the called thing droite, a narrow stone or
marmoreal vase around seven feet along, it was in pre-classical and
place-classical times used as a sarcophagus, but in the classical durations mainly
or only as a bath. If among the prehistoric graves to Mycenae some later
farmers discovered a real mummy or skeleton in a sarcophagus, wound in
a bathrobe of real crimson, and showing signals of violent death--as
Schliemann believed that he discovered--they doesn't say: "We founded the
body of a King murdered in a bath, and it wound round and it rounds off in a great
bathrobe?"
P. 39 fs.]--Agamemnon is overcoming the trial of the temptation. Him
protests rather too often and products.
P. 39, l. 931, tell me but this.]--This small dialogue is a lot
characteristic of Aeschylus. Euripides would have done him to three times
