Option 1
Is the article's content relevant to the topic?
 * Orestes:
 * Article Evaluation


 * Yes. Orestes was a part of the cursed house of Atreus, meaning his family and blood were cursed to be in a never ending cycle of revenge that fed on itself in a positive feedback loop.

Is it written neutrally?


 * Yes.

Does each claim have a citation?


 * No.

Are the citations reliable?


 * The citations included are reliable

Does the article tackle one of Wikipedia's equity gaps (coverage of historically underrepresented or misrepresented populations or subjects)?


 * The Article is a start-class, so maybe? The greek tragedies are pretty well-known though, so I suppose not.

Option 2
Is the article's content relevant to the topic?
 * Senecan tragedy:
 * Article Evaluation


 * Yes. Senecan tragedies must include a retelling of horrors and violence by definition, and this violence usually is either because of revenge, or results in revenge.

Is it written neutrally?


 * Yes.

Does each claim have a citation?


 * No, it needs a lot of work.

Are the citations reliable?


 * Yes, the few citations available are reliable.

 * Senecan tragedies are less well-known than other types, so I would say yes.
