#soooo... filicide sweep?#i'm counting alcestis as uxoricide (she did die)#and heracles in the trachiniai as both mariticide and patricide#you probably could do the stats for plenty of the lost/fragmentary plays too#all 3 matricides are clytemnestra btw#and both fratricides are the double deaths of polynices and eteocles#i'm counting instances narrated in choral odes as past events but not those that are just referred to as having happened#mine
