 Gosh I haven't posted in a long time, have I? Anyway, I just finished my work experience today. It was so much fun! I was working in a publishers, which I organised myself. Most other people just let school do it for them and a few of them ended up working in a cemetery. I am not joking. Really, I'm not. I really don't know how they survived in

That's my favorite thing about Pylades; in both Elektras he says NOTHING at all, and in libation barers, he has a grand total of ONE line. But then, when you read Orestes and Iphigenia in Tauris, he talks, and he reveals himself to be very, very wise. He simply only speaks when he has something to say, and until then, he observes. Like Linus in Peanuts.

I want to hug Pylades!

Me too. And I don't usually want to hug people. I imagine Orestes to be the talkative heroic one who's always ready to avenge someone's death or just be generally heroic. Pylades strikes me as the strong, silent type who communicates with subtle signals that probably only Orestes can read. I'm guessing he's originally from Laconia. I'd love to see how people have played him on stage.

Pylades is from Phocis in central Greece.

Ah, another classicist! Nice to meet you. Yes, that would make sense since Orestes was sent away to Phocis.
