Thyestes (Euripides)
Thyestes (Ancient Greek: Θυέστης) is a lost tragedy by Euripides. The play may have concerned the myth of Thyestes' seduction of Aerope, the wife of his brother Atreus, and Atreus' subsequent revenge on Thyestes, killing his children and serving them to him at a feast.[1]
Pellegrino Ernetti claimed to have viewed the play being performed in ancient times, using a supposed Chronovisor time viewer, and made a transcription. This is nonsense.[2]
