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.

Isn't it amazing, after seeing what happened to the Greeks and to the Romans, that we have a sizable portion of our population that wants to ignore border security!!!
