Abstract: »Aeschylus’ Suppliants has not had the popularity of his other plays; it was often viewed as static and masquelike. But it gains interest if we take an intersectional approach in our analysis; narratives of rape and race/ethnicity work together and bolster one another in the text. Aeschylus points this out to us: it is a mistake to focus on one axis of power to the exclusion of others. This essay demonstrates the loss if you drop one of those elements out of the equation, as Charles Mee does in Big Love.« (Source: Taylor & Francis Online)
