Anyone know where i can find this online for free? I really want to read this version

Too funny, way too funny.

I'm this anon btw >>9859809 - the same one who made this post>>9859411 and several others.

I happen to be a phys/maths major with close friends in STEM fields ranging from linguistics and maths to chem and molecular engineering, and I have to say, as little as you know about literary form or artistic analysis, you know even less about STEM or Classics.

Can you guy's give me like a quick summary about what the play Agamemnon is about? Like no more than a paragraph.
