Note 305 — AGAMEMNON

E. H. (Edward Hayes) Plumptre translation

As the play opens on the morning of the day on which Troïa was taken, and now we have the arrivals, first, of the herald, and then of Agamemnon, after the capture has been completed, and the spoil divided, and the fleet escaped a storm, an interval of some days must be supposed between the two parts of the play, the imaginary law of the unities notwithstanding.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
