"Euripides' Elektra" by Euripides is a tragedy written in the mid-410s BC. Years after Clytemnestra murders her husband Agamemnon, their daughter Electra lives in exile, married off to a peasant farmer. When her brother Orestes returns in disguise, the siblings reunite and plot revenge against their mother and her lover Aegisthus. This version challenges traditional notions of heroism and morality, questioning whether vengeance justifies matricide and exploring the dark consequences of violent
justice. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
