	Atreus, Greek Mythology Link.
		After his death, Thyestes 1, who employed adultery as a means to gain the throne, was still associated with this marvellous ram; for it is told that there was a stone ram on his grave, a memorial recalling the way in which he had obtained the animal, that is, by debauching his brother's wife.
		Thyestes 1 was away, but Atreus, having met Pelopia 4 in the court, and believing that she was Thesprotus 2's daughter, asked the king that she be given to him in marriage.
		Having thus recalled Thyestes 1 to Mycenae as the Oracle had ordained, Atreus bade Aegisthus, whom he believed to be his third son, to kill Thyestes 1 in his confinement.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2004.05.16
		He argues passionately for the "playability" of Thyestes and indeed all of Senecan drama; he is vehemently opposed to the idea that Seneca's tragedies are "recitation dramas".
		His investigation of Thyestes' connection to Stoicism and contemporary Roman politics is not as impressive as the case he makes for performance.
		For him Thyestes is not simply to be used as a key to understanding subsequent texts; it is D.'s goal to demonstrate that reading the play in tandem with works it has influenced will prove mutually illuminating.

		There is no direct reference to Thyestes' adultery with Atreus' wife (although Cassandra makes a reference to a man sleeping with his brother's wife) or to any events from earlier parts of the story (unless the images of chariot racing are meant to carry an echo of Pelops' actions).

		Worst of all, the central characterisation of Thyestes, as a man sick of the fratricidal struggle, is at odds with the requirements of the plot.
		For Atreus' plan to work, as he observes, Thyestes has to be as eager to get Atreus as his brother is to get him.
		Stewart makes you believe in Thyestes as the weary brother and almost makes you forget the illogicality of his actions, and when the two are working together, the production is at its best.
