Goēs — Aeschylus and Songs Calling Souls of the Dead

Wizard Putin, like Aeschylus (~500 BCE), employs through his speeches “songs that call upon the souls of the [Soviet] dead to appear to the living.” Euripides’s character Hippolytus is called a goēs when he attempts to control his father through his clever speech.
