The Pelopids and Dune (Part Three) The Trojan War & the Atreidae, Orestes, Iphigenia, & Tisamenus.
Channel: Doc Sloan's Science Fiction Station
Date: 2021-12-10

In our third 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.

in this episode we look at the the Atreidae and their role in the Trojan War. It will again get very dark and very gruesome as we look at the kidnapping of Helen of Sparta, the Sacrifice of Iphigenia at Aulis, the murders of Agamemnon and Cassandra, the murders of Aegisthus and Clytemnestra, and well just mucho-mucho murder.

Plus the madness and trial of Orestes following the murder of his own mother, the return of Iphigenia and just when you the thought the curse was over...yup! More family murder.

And did Helen of Sparta spend the entire Trojan War chilling in the court of King Proteus of Egypt? Hmmm.

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.
