In Magistra Carroll's Latin class, we've been reading Thyestes by Seneca the Younger. It's a fascinating play, and our very own Blake has written a poem about it. Enjoy!
Beyond anger, emotions run wild the only choice: to destroy brother's child. So chase a vengance he must do, to return the pain of which he was put through. Cloudless thunder reflecting malicious intent, action taken course from anger long pent. A body shaking rage which piles on to a curse, through seeking revenge the problem becomes worse. So he calls on his brother to create repulsion quite real. Fed to his brother was the most family of meal.
