Ajax - 1/5🌟 Women of Trachis - 1/5🌟 Electra - 2.5/5🌟 Philoctetes - 2/5🌟 Average rating: 1.62/5🌟 Ajax and Women of Trachis especially were really misogynistic. I mean, let's be realistic - do you think that if you treat your wife terribly, she will still do whatever you want? Pathetic... Electra was okay and I read it pretty fast, unlike Philoctetes, which has got me in Reading Slump.
