The Orestian trilogy has long been a favorite text of mine, and I am pleased that it is more frequently appearing as a topic on this site; However, I think this essay could be improved upon. The thesis is somewhat vague and overstated:"...Zeus blesses and and encourages a vengeful ten year war... sparking a cycle of continued infidelity and violence. This text reveals a rather perverse system of divine justice in which, at times, pride and revenge are valued more highly than human life."I would recommend making one main point and elaborating upon that until it is explained thoroughly. Your use of quotes is good, but may be a little overbearing at times. Try sticking to smaller quotes and interject your feelings into them. The essay is a little difficult to read because of the organization, but I am sure that if you revamp it a little bit, this could be a wonderful essay.Cheers!Scardia
