The tragic tale revealing the Hellenic viewpoint of the divine will of the gods and their helplessness to the will. Great insight to Hellenic religious views.

Had to read it for class. Liked the introductory essays way more than the plays.

I LOVE all Greek mythology. And I just thought these stories were hilarious and sparked great arguments about the roles of fate
