Resumo
Agamemnon, from the Aeschylean Tragedy, and Stannis Baratheon, a
character in the Game of Thrones’ series, share the same dilemma between leading
a war and sacrificing their own daughters. Once the correlation is set, I address the
divergent points between the classic and its modern heir.

entre a obra clássica e sua herdeira moderna.
