L'Orestie, Agamemnon

The gods seem both distant and involved—did this reflect ancient Greek beliefs or serve a dramatic purpose? I'm curious about the balance between divine intervention and human agency.

The sense of doom is so palpable early on—was that the intent from the start, or did it develop as the story unfolded? It made me wonder if the characters could have chosen differently.

The chorus adds a layered perspective, but I wonder if that was a strategic choice to heighten emotional impact or rooted in traditional Greek theater practices.
