CW/TW: far too many Greek myths involve assault. I try to provide direct warnings when there is reference to anything with overtly traumatic themes but be aware that Greek mythology regularly features assault, death, and many other potentially triggering events.
Sources: Agamemnon by Aeschylus, primarily using translations by Anne Carson (from An Oresteia) and Sarah Ruden (from The Greek Plays); translation and original Greek from Perseus Project (perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Ate…); Early Greek Myths by Timothy Gantz; Topostext.
