The House of Menelaus-II-Atreus and Tieste, the terrible brothers 

ATTENTION! Bye! I have a notice regarding today's episode.
SIGN UP: www.youtube.com...
In this episode, more than in any other, terrible events and frightening actions are reported.
If you usually propose this podcast to little ones, I suggest you listen to the episode first, and decide if it is appropriate to expose them to this story.
I am pleased that even the little ones listen to this podcast, but in this case we really need to be careful.
Even the most sensitive run the risk of experiencing some discomfort, so the invitation is to proceed with caution.

We are getting to know the families of Menelaus and Agamemnon, two of the most important protagonists of the Trojan War ...
Both brothers are, as you certainly remember, nephews of Tantalus… a terrible legacy!
Today we continue the story about Atreo and Tieste.
Atreus is the father of Agamemnon and Menelaus, Tieste is their uncle.
There is bad blood between the princes Atreus and Tieste, for reasons of succession to the throne of Mycenae.
As we learned in the last episode, Atreus managed to rise to power, ousting his brother from the throne.
This political victory, however, is not enough for him ... He wants to take revenge for the insults he suffered: the seduction of his wife Erope by his brother Trieste and the theft of the golden fleece.
The king of Mycenae organizes a terrible revenge against his brother.
He invites Tieste to a dinner, as if to reconcile relations. The brother willingly accepts the invitation, he does not suspect any deception ... After all, Atreus is now the only king and can have everything he wants ...

On Pelopia and Tieste there are different versions: here I have distilled one, but I reserve the right to record a mini episode with an alternative version.
