The Oresteia: The Libation Bearers

Turns out we really didn't cover enough of Agamemnon to really get into The Libation Bearers. Luckily we have Brian Phillips to get us all up to speed. Brian, Andrea, and Brandon then get into parallels between Oerestes and Odyssius, competing claims of piety, and true dilemma.
