The Oresteia (Modernized)

All three of the great Greek Tragedians have written plays about the bloody chain of murder and revenge within the royal family of Argos. Yet theirs is in fact not a story of tragedy, but rather one of redemption. As they move from darkness to light, from rage to self-governance, from primitive ritual to civilized institution, their spirit of struggle and regeneration becomes an everlasting song of celebration to be heard throughout the ages. Forming a discourse set against the emergence of Athenian democracy out of a period of chaos and destruction, the Orestian plays are compelling stories of the tensions between our obligations to our families and the laws that bind us together as a society. In the beginning, we witness how a king’s decision to sacrifice his daughter and turn the tide of war inflicts lasting damage on his family, culminating in a terrible act of retribution. In the aftermath of regicide, we behold how a son must set out to avenge his father’s death by committing a most egregious sin. In the end, the sinner is tormented by supernatural powers that can never be appeased, but ultimately finds redemption and ends the curse on his house once and for all. Woven through all of this is the story of a friendship so close that it elevates itself to brotherhood - Where the blood of the covenant is shown to be indeed thicker than the water of the womb. In this very brief twelve-chapter modern rendition of the Orestian plays, I have chosen to place my focus mainly on the lives of the characters Orestes and his best friend Pylades. The chapters, each around 2000-2500 words, are split up evenly between them in first-person narrative. I hope that you will come to enjoy reading this heartwarming story, but more importantly, that you see how the conflicts portrayed in the story, whether human or institutional, are still much very relevant to our societies today. Note on Sources: The details of this story is very loosely based on The Oresteia by Aeschylus, who was one of the three great Greek Tragedians (though this story is not a tragedy). And I mean very loosely. Other sources that I referenced for detail and inspiration are Mythology by Edith Hamilton, Electra by Sophocles, and Iphigenia in Tauris by Euripides. You may also find that I have quoted some of these works, and others (such as Shelley's Ozymondaeus), without citations (average of 1-2 such quotes per chapter). I did this because I do not have the ability to describe certain scenes nearly as well as some of those writers. If you read a particularly beautiful piece of prose here, chances are it's probably stolen lol.

The reason for empire's fall

Estella Seymour, renowned as the continent's most beautiful woman, becomes an unwitting pawn in her father's desperate bid for financial redemption. As he squanders everything through habitual gambling, he ultimately places a high-stakes bet on Estella, hoping to secure her future by selling her to the highest bidder. Aware of her father's avarice, Estella finds herself thrust into a male-dominated world where survival is her only option. However, her ascent to the pinnacle of beauty makes her a coveted target for the rapacious emperor. Amidst the looming threat, the one figure who could potentially shield her is none other than Archduke Callan Rodriguez, the emperor's brother, who unexpectedly becomes Estella's husband. As the power dynamics shift, Estella faces an unsettling confrontation with her new reality. The once protective Archduke now utters foreboding words, making her question the true nature of her situation. "I don't think you can run anymore, Estella. I finally have you in my grasp," he asserts cryptically. Perplexed, Estella queries, "Huh?" As uncertainty envelops her, she observes a previously unseen intensity in the Archduke's gaze. In a surprising turn of events, he forcefully presses her against a wall, capturing her with a possessive kiss that leaves her questioning her choices. Amidst the turmoil of emotions and unforeseen circumstances, Estella grapples with doubt: 'Did I make a wrong choice?'
