QR code
"The Electra of Euripides" by Euripides is a tragedy written in the mid-410s BC. The play retells the dark myth of the house of Atreus, following Electra and her brother Orestes as they plot revenge against their mother Clytemnestra and her lover Aegisthus for murdering their father Agamemnon. Euripides reimagines the familiar story with disturbing twists, questioning traditional notions of heroism, gender roles, and divine morality as the siblings pursue their violent
quest for justice. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
