Elektra tells the story (told also by Aeschylus and Euripides) of the revenge that Orestes and Elektra take on their mother Klytemnestra for her murder of their father Agamemnon. In this version, their mission is accomplished by a cruel deception, and Sophocles challenges nearly all of our expectations: the evil of Klytemnestra, the callousness of Aegisthus, the virtue of Orestes, and the righteousness of Elektra. Please relish with us this study of a family gone very wrong.
