The Pelopids and Dune (Part Two) Atreus and Thyestes to Agamemnon and Menelaus.
Channel: Doc Sloan's Science Fiction Station
Date: 2021-12-03

In our second episode of this small new series on Doc Sloan's Science Fiction Station, we continue to look at the Pelopid Line, that family that is so associated with familial homicide. This family and the stories that surround them are also the basis for Paul Atreides and much of the plot of Frank Herbert's Dune Series.

Continuing on from Tantalus and Pelops, in this episode we look at the Atreus, father of the Atreidae, and his brother Thyestes. It will get very dark and very gruesome before we move on to looking at the Atreidae themselves, Agamemnon King of Mycenae and Menelaus, the King of Sparta and husband to the woman who will become known as Helen of Troy.

There are a lot of unusual names in this episode and therefore we recommend turning the subtitles or caption options on for help with this.
