The Libation Bearers

  1. Also known as Choephoroe or The Choephori

  2. Set in Athens and the Temple at Delphi

  3. Libations are water or wine poured for the gods during a religious ritual

  4. Major theme uncertainty between right and wrong

  5. First performed in 458 B.C.

  6. Tragic play

  7. Takes place about 20 years after the Trojan War

  8. Uses light and dark imagery

  9. Referenced by Euripides in his play Electra Play

  10. Important Quotations:

  11. They killed an honored man by cunning, so they die by cunning, caught in the same noose.

  12. The gods know, and we call upon the gods; they know how we are spun in circles like seafarers, in what storms. But if we are to win, and our ship live, from one small seed could burgeon an enormous tree.

  13. Oh curse upon our house, bitter antagonist, how far your eyes range. What was clean out of your way your archery brings down with a distant deadly shot to strip unhappy me of all I ever loved. Even Orestes now! He was so well advised to keep his foot clear of this swamp of death. But now set down as traitor the hope that was our healer once and made us look for a bright revel in our house.

  1. "God knows I do everything I can to make you stand on your own two feet. Just be yourself. You don't seem to realize how insulting it is to me that you can't get yourself together." — Martin

  2. "You should always respect and love me, Edward, not for myself, I may not deserve it, but as I respected and loved my own father, because he was my father. Through our father we love our Queen and our God." — Clive

Arcadia

  1. "If you could stop every atom in its position and direction, and if your mind could comprehend all the actions thus suspended, then if you were really, really good at algebra you could write the formula for all the future; and although nobody can be so cleaver to do it, the formula must exist just as if one could." — Thomasina
  2. "When we have found all the meanings and lost all the mysteries, we will be alone, on an empty shore." — Thomasina
