I Owe the World a Dead Person
Original title: Ich schulde der Welt einen Toten
Overview
In order to justify interpreting the Oresteia as a representation of the ""birth of democracy"" (P. Stein), one has to repress a lot, for example the sacrifice of Iphigenia or Elektra's feminist rebellion. The Oresteia represents an ""Egyptian"" material, situated between Europe and Asia, incomprehensible to both. That makes it interesting for a possible, currently necessary rapprochement between the two parts of the world. One would need, Müller says, to undertake a completely new translation, because in the existing ones the irrational elements have already been smoothed over.
