It might have brought the men home, and it may have kept them home. But, then perhaps the ancient Greeks would have survived a bit longer if instead of lying in bed all day, they were defending their borders, and especially their coasts from which they were conquered.

Interesting. I was thinking about the play’s themes in terms of the #MeToo era of our culture today. For too long, sexual indiscretion has been a defining pillar of the modern feminist cause, and that’s been disempowering and counterproductive for the cause of women at large.
