Savage justice: Colm Toibin dares retell the Oresteia of Aeschylus
Speaking of epic, I endured my long flight home by watching movies. The plane was so full, my coach section so crammed, that I could not write in my notebook or read a book without jamming my elbow up someone’s nostril. (Also Etihad no longer gives out toiletries and only allows one piece of checked baggage, even if it is below the weight limit.) I survived by watching the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy by Peter Jackson. I slept through most of the movies, but woke up to hear Theoden say this.
