CW/TW: far too many Greek myths involve assault. Given it\'s fiction, and typically involves gods and/or monsters, I\'m not as deferential as I would be were I referencing the real thing.

Sources: Euripides\' Orestes, translations by Anne Carson (main reference and short quotes throughout); EP Coleridge (long quotes and intro quote); Euripides by Isabelle Torrance. Re: that misspoken line by Hegelochus, Wikipedia\'s description and the scholia itself.
