Grammatikopoulou, Christina, ‘A junction of myth, history, cinema: Aeschylus’ Oresteia in Angelopoulos’ Thiassos’, Interartive, v.1, June 2008 <http://interartive.org/2008/06/theodoros_angelopoulos> (translations in English, Spanish, Greek)
In Travelling Players, Theodoros Angelopoulos uses Oresteia as a metaphor for Greece at the beginning of the 20th century. The connection of the film with Oresteia was chosen to “camouflage” its political tone, and in the end it proved to be an ideal vehicle for the director to talk about the history of Greece, from 1939 to 1952.
